There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

The alchemist, p. 141Paulo Coelho
The perfect athlete is Lance Armstrong. What he achieved, no other human has or, in my opinion, will ever achieve. It's hard enough surviving cancer, but winning seven Tour de France titles after that is amazing. He is a true inspiration to me and makes me believe that nothing is impossible. When you have a dream and work hard at it, it's possible.
Lance Armstrong
It is impossible not to notice that our world is tormented by failure, hate, guilt, and fear.
William Saroyan
I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering, “What if?” I would keep putting my dream to the test — even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. If you can't live here, get back to YOUR roots and LEARN to live here!
Alex Haley
Specifically, the presence of oceans on much of the earth's surface makes it impossible for any state to achieve global hegemony.
John J. Mearsheimer
I'm proof against that word failure. I've seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
