Quote by E.E. Cummings

deeds cannot dream what dreams can do

deeds cannot dream what dreams can do

Summary

This quote suggests that actions and accomplishments in the real world hold more power and potential than mere dreams or hopes. While dreams have their own significance and can inspire or motivate individuals, they cannot match the transformative impact that actions and deeds can have. Dreams may be unlimited in their possibilities, but it is only through active pursuit and implementation that these dreams can truly manifest and make a difference in one's life or in society as a whole.
