The faith that anyone could move from rags to riches - with enough guts and gumption, hard work and nose to the grindstone - was once at the core of the American Dream.
I expect if you are going to come out of the shadows, then you're going to want to have some type of hope in the future that you're going to improve your life and, yes, accomplish that American Dream.
We all dream. We dream vividly, depending on our nature. Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we're atheist.
I live in the suburbs, the final battleground of the American dream, where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves.
The United States is no longer first in the world in upward mobility. We can reverse that trend by giving our young children an equal start in life as they begin their journey to fulfill the American Dream.
I guess my silly dream is to be on 'Game of Thrones.' I don't think that I can do that, but that's my silly dream. And there are a lot of American comedies, particularly on NBC, that I would, I would love to do.
There is no denial that you have the right to dream as big as you can possibly desire, but you must also be willing and able to work as hard as your dream requires.
A dream is not meant to be dreamed forever; instead, it's meant for you to work hard and smart enough until success wakes you up from it.

The crown of massive success is upon us all. Hold strong to your faith and continue to give your dreams your very best.
One of the biggest mistakes that you could make while pursuing your dream, is to not study the footsteps of those who are already successful in your field.
Making each day count like it's your last day to fulfill your dreams, is unarguably the master key to a future full of great rewards.
Stop getting bitter that a lot of people don't believe in your dream. The manifestation of your dream only needs nobody else but yourself to believe in it and give it all that you got in you.
But instead of spending our lives running towards our dreams, we are often running away from a fear of failure or a fear of criticism.
Which road, which road did you take That brought you here at last? No road, no road did I take. I leaped, I leaped from dream to dream.
Listen with your heart, listen to your inner voice of wisdom, listen to your dreams. You know what is right for you.
Dreaming is the day job of novelists, but sharing our dreams is a still more important task for us. We cannot be novelists without this sense of sharing something.
By disgracing and degrading the presidency of the United States, by fleeing the White House like a diseased cur, Richard Nixon broke the heart of the American Dream.
Your dreams are like the cement. If you water it with actions, it becomes a hard concrete mass. But if you leave it exposed and unwatered, the air will easily blow it away!
He who has the audacity to stop you from dreaming is he who had given you the imaginations to think, but not those who watch you as you explore the dreams!
If you want your dreams to work out for you, you must work with them. Pay the price and have the package of your accomplishments in full versions.
