Best Quotes about Vision

The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still.

Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere.

The kingdom of God in the teachings of Jesus was not an apocalyptic or heavenly projection of otherworldly desire.

And it called for a change of behavior in the present on the part of individuals invested in the vision.
