All Men Dream but not Equally

2010-08-17T21:53:00.000+10:00

All men dream but not equally.

wake in the day to find that it was vanity;

but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,

for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

2010-08-02T22:45:00.003+10:00

Twenty years from now

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

For Yesterday is but a Dream, And To-morrow is only a Vision;

But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,

And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.

Look well therefore to this Day!

Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!”
