As our federal government has grown too large and too powerful the real loss has been the freedom of people to govern their own lives and participate fully in the American dream.

If our freedom is taken the American dream will wither and die.

The American dream is about freedom.

To me the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom.

Secrecy is the freedom tyrants dream of.

That's what we do in this country. That's the American Dream. That's freedom and I'll take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners.

Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again what is soiled is made clean again.

You can't escape the taste of the food you had as a child. In times of stress what do you dream about? Your mother's clam chowder. It's security comfort. It brings you home.

I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires and I am your thirst and your hunger and your food and your drink.

But I don't begrudge anybody because I know how hard it is to have that dream and to make it happen whether or not it's just to put a roof over your head and food on the table.

There were a lot of people dreaming about making films and they would finance maybe 6 films a year. Because they were funded by the government the films sort-of had to deal with serious social issues - and as a result nobody went to see those films.

Honest to God all my life I have had such a fear of spiders. In fact I use to have a reoccurring dream about one. Very clearly it was black with a red head. It would sit up in the corner of the bedroom and when it started getting closer I would wake up in a panic.

And if the great fear had not come upon me as it did and forced me to do my duty I might have been less good to the people than some man who had never dreamed at all even with the memory of so great a vision in me.

But what is all this fear of and opposition to Oblivion? What is the matter with the soft Darkness the Dreamless Sleep?

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.

It's every teenager's dream to be in a band tour the world and be famous.

At each of these northern posts there were interesting experiences in store for me as one who had read all the books of northern travel and dreamed for half a lifetime of the north and that was - almost daily meeting with famous men.

Many medal winners dream of competing in a sport other than the one they're famous for.

I've never dreamed of being famous. The idea of it really scares me.

I am the most well-adjusted human being I know. I started out this investigation as a very happy man with a great career. I've got the life people dream about: I am rich I am famous I've got a fabulous marriage to an absolutely spell-bindingly brilliant woman.

My ultimate dream is to become a famous star because I love to sing.

Quite frankly I didn't become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.

Be very clear as to what your dream is. Nowadays it is fairly certain that 90 percent of all actors really just want to be rich and famous as the solution to all that ails.

I have a great job writing for 'The Office ' but really all television writers do is dream of one day writing movies. I'll put it this way: At the Oscars the most famous person in the room is like Angelina Jolie. At the Emmys the huge exciting celebrity is Bethenny Frankel. You get what I mean.
