“[Christopher Columbus] was a dreamer, a man of vision and courage, a man filled with hope for the future and with the determination to cast off for the unknown and sail into uncharted seas for the joy of finding whatever was there. Put it all together and you might say that Columbus was the inventor of the American dream.”  

~Ronald Reagan 


Christopher Columbus was a man with a vision.  The vision came first, long before it reached fulfillment in the discovery.... Only after long years of single-minded dedication came at last a discovery.  

~Delno C. West and August Kling


"One of the most striking aspects of the life of Christopher Columbus was his self-awareness as a man of destiny.  He viewed himself as the chosen and appointed messenger of God..."  

~Delno C. West and August Kling


"Columbus . . . believed that the Holy Spirit had spoken to him, saying that his name would be proclaimed throughout the world.  He does not specify when or where this happened, only that it was "in my youth."  In his mind, he connected it to his success in discovering the New World.   ~ 

~Delno C. West and August Kling


The Admiral was chosen for his great work by Our Lord, . . . and his affairs were directed by a secret Providence.  

~Ferdinand Columbus

~Samuel Eliot Morison

~John George Jones


"Every ship that comes to America got its chart from Columbus."  

~Ralph Waldo Emerson


"He gave the world another world."  

~George Santayana


"Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at."  

~Author Unknown


Mistakes are the portals of discovery.  

~James Joyce


Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.  

~Robert F. Kennedy
