“Dreams are lovely. But they are just dreams. Fleeting, ephemeral, pretty. But dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It’s hard work that makes things happen. It’s hard work that creates change.”
~ Shonda Rhimes
Ntange Dreaming by Emily Kame Kngwarreye, 1989; National Gallery of Australia
More on making it happen:
“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.”
~ Michael Jordan
“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I think that we as a people are always prone to think about, well, tomorrow will be a better day. Well, why will it be a better day? And I think the more that we believe in doing things better, doing the right thing rather than hoping that that’s going to happen, let’s make it happen.”
~ Bobby Knight
