A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.

Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is simply passing the time. Action with Vision is making a positive difference.

The ultimate function of prophecy is not to tell the future, but to make it. Your successful past will block your visions of the future.

I dreamed I spoke in another's language,
I dreamed I lived in another's skin,
I dreamed I was my own beloved,
I dreamed I was a tiger's kin.

I dreamed that Eden lived inside me,
And when I breathed a garden came,
I dreamed I knew all of Creation,
I dreamed I knew the Creator's name.

I dreamed--and this dream was the finest--
That all I dreamed was real and true,
And we would live in joy forever,
You in me, and me in you.

Dream!
Forge yourself and rise
Out of your mind and into others.
Men, be women.
Fish, be flies.
Girls, take beards.
Sons, be your mothers.
The future of the world now lies
In coral wombs behind our eyes.

Any fool can be happy. It takes a man with real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep.
