Once you change your attitude, it changes your behavior pattern and then you go on into some action.

Tom Clancy (1947–2013) American author
As quoted in Writers (1995) Published by A. Deutsch

Context: Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Your life may change, but your dream doesn't have to. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Your spouse and children need not get in its way, because the dream is within you. No one can take your dream away.
