Dreams Quote by Carl Sandburg — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Poetry is an echo asking a shadow to dance.”

“A man must find time for himself. Time is what we spend our lives with. If we are not careful we find others spending it for us. . . . It is necessary now and then for a man to go away by himself and experience loneliness; to sit on a rock in the forest and to ask of himself, 'Who am I, and where have I been, and where am I going?' . . . If one is not careful, one allows diversions to take up one's time—the stuff of life.”

“Under the summer roses”

“Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.”

“Read the dictionary from A to Izzard today.”

“Nothing happens unless first we dream.”

“Sleep is the real beauty secret, but I don't get enough of that.”

“Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you.”

“The future cannot be predicted, but futures can be invented. It was man's ability to invent which has made human society what it is.”

“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.”

“In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.”

“Experience can only be gained by doing not by thinking or dreaming.”
