Dreams are the touchstones of our characters.

Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore.

Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.

Happiness does not fall out of the blue and dreams will not come true by themselves. We need to be down-to-earth and work hard. We should uphold the idea that working hard is the most honorable, noblest, greatest and most beautiful virtue.

It was a dream come true for me to be at the Olympics.

Without dreams, there can be no courage. And without courage, there can be no action

Sometimes I wake up laughing when I have a great dream. And sometimes I have nightmares - and I hate them.

This is for all of you out there tonight, reaching for a dream - don't ever give up! Never ever listen to anyone, when they try to discourage you, because they do that, believe me!

I used to dream about Gorbachev before he lost power. I'd go into a panic because I was meeting him, and I had nothing to wear. I'd ask my brother what to do, and he'd tell me to wear my dressing gown. I'd tell him I can't - it's too horrible. He'd tell me to wear his as well. So I'd meet Gorbachev wearing two dressing gowns.

I frequently dream of having tea with the Queen.

What I really, really want to do is pre-packaged meals. Fabulous versions that are delicious, healthy, not too expensive and very low in fat. So, that's my big dream, because there's a massive hole in the market for that.

My mother used to sit at the foot of my bed, and she would share her dreams with me.

My mother used to sit at the foot of my bed and she would share her dreams with me.

Like my mother, I was always saying, 'I'll fix my life one day.' It became clear when I saw her die without fulfilling her dreams that my time was now or maybe never.

We don’t want to tell our dreams, we want to show them.

We don’t want to tell our dreams. We want to show them.

Dreams are not what you see in your sleep, dreams are things which do not let you sleep.

I’m living a dream I never want to wake up from.

There is no harm in dreaming of becoming the world’s best player. It is all about trying to be the best. I will keep working hard to achieve it but it is within my capabilities.

Don’t dream to be something but rather dream to do something great.

Dreams are not seen when you sleep, dreams are those that don’t let you sleep.

I am living proof that the American dream still exists. It is still alive and well. There is only one trick you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and work very very hard.

It's definitely a dream come true to be recognized and to be able to sign autographs. But it's also a lot of hard work and can be draining. If you don't know already you will quickly learn who your real friends are.
