If there were dreams to sell,
What would you buy?
Some cost a passing bell;
Some a light sigh,
That shakes from Life’s fresh crown
Only a rose-leaf down.
If there were dreams to sell,
Merry and sad to tell,
And the crier rang the bell,
What would you buy?
A cottage lone and still,
With bowers nigh,
Shadowy, my woes to still,
Until I die,
Such pearl from Life’s fresh crown
Fain would I shake me down.
Were dreams to have at will,
This would best heal my ill,
This would I buy.
- Thomas Lovell Beddose
You see things; and you say,
'Why?' But I dream
things that never were;
and I say, 'Why not?'
- Quote by George Bernard Shaw
In three words I can
sum up everything I've
learned about life.
It goes on.
- Quote by Robert Frost
Dreams have but one owner at a time.
That is why dreamers are lonely.
- Quote by Erma Bombeck
Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time,
Why should I strive to set the crooked straight?
Let it suffice me that my murmuring rhyme
Beats with light wing against the ivory gate,
Telling a tale not too importunate.
- Quote by William Morris
