If you will it, there is no dream Assuming that you are not being ironic, Theodor Herzl's quote is generally translated as " 'If you will it, it is no dream; and if you do not will it, a dream it is and a dream it will stay."

"There is no dream" has a slightly different meaning from "it [the thing you are willing into existence] is no dream.

Even if you were quoting from The Big Lebowski, it's still "it": “If you will it, Dude, it is no dream.” -Walter Sobchak

I love the quote about the sea. My father used to say, "An unrocked boat is a sunken ship."

Yes, I know. I've been quoting it for years and it was just a lazy mistake. I hope that you, Mr. Herzl and your class will forgive me.

I love your fathers quote.
