Best Quotes about Vision

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.

10.

The road winds up the hill to meet the height; Beyond the locust hedge it curves from sight -- And yet no man would foolishly contend. That where he sees it not, it makes an end.

Carleton, Emma

11.

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.

12.

The cities and mansions that people dream of are those in which they finally live.

Mumford, Lewis

13.

Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.

Berger, John

Hutchins, Robert M.

16.

It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.

Keller, Helen

17.

Our first journey is to find that special place for us.

Nightingale, Earl

18.

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

19.

I want to use television not only to entertain, but to help people lead better lives.

Winfrey, Oprah

20.

Lycurgus, Numa, Moses, Jesus Christ, Mohammed, all these great rogues, all these great thought-tyrants, knew how to associate the divinities they fabricated with their own boundless ambition.

Sade, Marquis De

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.

26.

There is nothing more mysterious than a TV set left on in an empty room. It is even stranger than a man talking to himself or a woman standing dreaming at her stove. It is as if another planet is communicating with you.

Baudrillard, Jean

27.

29.

Faith is power to believe and power to see...

Mulford, Prentice

30.

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

31.

We need to learn to set our course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.

Bradley, Omar Nelson

32.

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

33.

Television is becoming a collage -- there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different.

Hockney, David

34.

When it comes to spotting a blonde hair on a man's coat, every wife has 20-20 vision.

Schwab, Charles M.

36.

We lift ourselves by our thought. We climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always everywhere.

Marden, Orison Swett

Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark, of night, of the other side of things.

Baudrillard, Jean

38.

Its marvelous what you can see when you open your eyes.

39.

It is never safe to look into the future with eyes of fear.

Harriman, Edward H.

40.

Watching old movies is like spending an evening with those people next door. They bore us, and we wouldn't go out of our way to see them; we drop in on them because they're so close. If it took some effort to see old movies, we might try to find out which were the good ones, and if people saw only the good ones maybe they would still respect old movies. As it is, people sit and watch movies that audiences walked out on thirty years ago. Like Lot's wife, we are tempted to take another look, attracted not by evil but by something that seems much more shameful -- our own innocence.

Kael, Pauline

41.

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

Picasso, Pablo

42.

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

Collier, Robert

43.

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

44.

You have to think big to be big.

Bristol, Claude M.

45.

Man cannot aspire if he looked down; if he rise, he must look up.

Smiles, Samuel

46.

Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing.

White, Elwyn Brooks

47.

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

Swindoll, Charles

48.

Evert, Chris

Terkel, Studs

50.
