Best Quotes about Vision

Faith is the confidence, the assurance, the enforcing truth, the knowing...

Collier, Robert

In a narrow circle the mind grows narrow. The more one expands, the larger their aims.

Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.

TV is a fickle business. I'm only good for the length of my contract.

Brokaw, Tom

Create a vision and never let the environment, other people's beliefs, or the limits of what has been done in the past shape your decisions. Ignore conventional wisdom.

Robbins, Anthony

No vision and you perish; No Ideal, and you're lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high.

Autermont, Harriet Du

The kingdom of God could be realized simply by daring to live differently from the normal conventions. The kingdom of God in the teachings of Jesus was not an apocalyptic or heavenly projection of otherworldly desire. It was driven by a desire to think that there must be a better way to live together than the present state of affairs. And it called for a change of behavior in the present on the part of individuals invested in the vision.

Mack, Burton L.

What every man needs, regardless of his job or the kind of work he is doing, is a vision of what his place is and may be. He needs an objective and a purpose. He needs a feeling and a belief that he has some worthwhile thing to do. What this is no one can tell him. It must be his own creation. Its success will be measured by the nature of his vision, what he has done to equip himself, and how well he has performed along the line of its development.

Dodge, Joseph M.

Hill, Napoleon

11.

You have to see the pattern, understand the order and experience the vision.

Gerber, Michael E.

12.

The world values the seer above all men, and has always done so. Nay, it values all men in proportion as they partake of the character of seers. The Elgin Marbles and a decision of John Marshall are valued for the same reason. What we feel in them is a painstaking submission to facts beyond the author's control, and to ideas imposed upon him by his vision. So with Beethoven's Symphonies, with Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations -- with any conceivable output of the human mind of which you approve. You love them because you say, These things were not made, they were seen.

Chapman, John Jay

13.

The most puzzling thing about TV is the steady advance of the sponsor across the line that has always separated news from promotion, entertainment from merchandising. The advertiser has assumed the role of originator, and the performer has gradually been eased into the role of peddler.

White, Elwyn Brooks

Movie, Fields Of Dreams

If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.

Picasso, Pablo

23.

Television -- a medium. So called because it is neither rare nor well done.

Kovacs

24.

When I think of vision, I have in mind the ability to see above and beyond the majority.

Swindoll, Charles

25.

The business of a seer is to see; and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.

Huxley, Aldous

26.

The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring this endeavor will light our bounty and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

Kennedy, John F.

27.

So by all means let's have a television show quick and long, even if the commercial has to be delivered by a man in a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, selling ergot pills. After all the public is entitled to what it wants, isn't it? The Romans knew that and even they lasted four hundred years after they started to putrefy.

Chandler, Raymond

28.

The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing -- where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do.

I know my fate. One day there will be associated with my name the recollection of something frightful -- of a crisis like no other before on earth, of the profoundest collision of conscience, of a decision evoked against everything that until then had been believed in, demanded, sanctified. I am not a man I am dynamite.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

32.

Your successful past will block your visions of the future.

Barker, Joel A.

33.

As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.

Blake, William

34.

To come to be you must have a vision of Being, a Dream, a Purpose, a Principle. You will become what your vision is.

Zarlenga, Peter Nivio

Sarraute, Nathalie

36.

A man to carry on a successful business must have imagination. He must see things as in a vision, a dream of the whole thing.

Schwab, Charles M.

37.

Much of what passes for quality on British television is no more than a reflection of the narrow elite which controls it and has always thought that its tastes were synonymous with quality.

Murdoch, Rupert

38.

Television thrives on unreason, and unreason thrives on television. It strikes at the emotions rather than the intellect.

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.

Kasem, Casey

Objects close to the eye shut out much larger objects on the horizon; and splendors born only of the earth eclipse the stars. So it is with people who sometimes cover up the entire disc of eternity with a dollar, and so quench transcendent glories with a little shining dust.

Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

43.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

Alcott, Louisa May

44.

Television is actually closer to reality than anything in books. The madness of TV is the madness of human life.

Paglia, Camille

We do not need more intellectual power, we need more spiritual power. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen.

Coolidge, Calvin

46.

I have seen gleams in the face and eyes of the man that have let you look into a higher country.

Carlyle, Thomas

47.

There are lone figures armed only with ideas, sometimes with just one idea, who blast away whole epochs in which we are enwrapped like mummies. Some are powerful enough to resurrect the dead. Some steal on us unawares and put a spell over us which it takes centuries to throw off. Some put a curse on us, for our stupidity and inertia, and then it seems as if God himself were unable to lift it.

Miller, Henry

48.
