More From Carl Sagan

Dreams require down payments. dreams are free, but the journey isn't. there is a price to pay. first, you must pay the price of dealing with criticism from people who matter. ralph waldo emerson said, 'whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.' second, you must pay the price of overcoming your fears. failure, rejection, and looking foolish are common fears - but they are just feelings that can be conquered and removed from your thoughts. finally, you must be willing to pay the price of hard work in order to realize your dream.

The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional. anxiety is not a sin; it's an emotion. so don't be anxious about feeling anxious. anxiety can, however, lead to sinful behavior. when we numb our fears with six-packs or food binges, when we spew anger like krakatau, when we peddle our fears to anyone who will buy them, we're sinning.

The past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. the past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the future is, in all things, our friend. in the past is no hope; the future is both hope and fruition. the past is the text-book of tyrants; the future is the bible of the free. those who are solely governed by the past stand like lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward, and forever incapable of looking before.

There is abundant proof that the opening of our ports always tends to raise the price of foreign corn to the price in the english market, and not to sink the price of british corn to the price in the continental market.
