The oak sleeps in the acorn

Dream lofty dreams,
and as you dream, so shall you become.
Your Vision is the promise of what you shall one day be.
Your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream.
The oak sleeps in the acorn;
the bird waits in the egg; and
in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs.
Dreams are the seedlings of realities

- James Allen - As a man Thinketh
