I define the American dream as the ability to imagine a way that you want your life to turn out, and have a reasonable hope that you can achieve that.

The American dream, to me, means having the opportunity to achieve, because I don't think you should be guaranteed anything other than opportunity.

The American Dream is independence and being able to create that dream for yourself.

American dreams are strongest in the hearts of those who have seen America only in their dreams.

The American dream is about freedom.

The American Dream is about freedom.

I came to America with a dream and I made it. The dream became reality. America is built for success.

To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom.

I think the American Dream used to be achieving one's goals in your field of choice - and from that, all other things would follow. Now, I think the dream has morphed into the pursuit of money: Accumulate enough of it, and the rest will follow.

The American Dream may be slipping away. We have overcome such challenges before. To recover the Dream requires knowing where it came from, how it lasted so long and why it matters so much.
