The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances.
Aristotle

I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.
Luis Barragan

There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.
Nikola Tesla

Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
Swami Vivekananda

My ideal is to wake up in the morning and run around the meadow naked.
Daryl Hannah
