Spread joy. Chase your wildest dreams.

The line pairs two imperatives: to actively generate happiness for others (“Spread joy”) and to pursue an expansive, idealistic personal calling (“Chase your wildest dreams”). Attributed to Patch Adams, it reflects the ethos commonly associated with his public persona—optimism, service, and a belief that compassion and play can be transformative. The juxtaposition suggests that fulfillment is not only private ambition but also outward-facing generosity: joy is something to be practiced and shared, while dreams are something to be pursued with courage. Read together, it frames a life philosophy in which altruism and self-actualization reinforce each other rather than compete.
