“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts.

If a man speak or act with a good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.”
― Gautama Buddha
