Will

“. . . But experience has taught me that you cannot value dreams according to the odds of their coming true. Their real value is in stirring within us the will to aspire. That will, wherever it finally leads, does at least move you forward.

― Sonia Sodamayor, My Beloved World

“If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we could have a pretty good time.”
