My mother, born and raised in Italy, came to the US immediately after WWII. One of many women abroad who married US servicemen, they were called "War Brides".
She had a clever little saying, which in Italian rhymed, making it more clever than the English translation, but it translated into,
"He lives on dreams, dies in sh!t"...
I think that was her way of telling me that dreams don't come true unless you buckle down and do the work.
Mom's are smart.
