Best Quotes about Vision

Nothing is so easy to fake as the inner vision.

Davies, Robertson

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

Already we Viewers, when not viewing, have begun to whisper to one another that the more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.

Priestley, J. B.

What do a few lies on TV matter? They can be swallowed, digested and excreted, or follow people when they doze off to sink into oblivion.

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.

Smiles, Samuel

17.

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

Carlyle, Thomas

18.

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

19.

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

Mulford, Prentice

20.

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

21.

Every age needs men who will redeem the time by living with a vision of the things that are to be.

Stevenson, Adlai E.

22.

No man sees far, most see no farther than their noses.

Carlyle, Thomas

23.

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

24.

The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement, will depend very largely on how big a man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self, yourself at your best.

Marden, Orison Swett

25.

I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

Gandhi, Mahatma

26.

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

27.

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

28.

You don't need an explanation for everything, Recognize that there are such things as miracles -- events for which there are no ready explanations. Later knowledge may explain those events quite easily.

Browne, Harry

29.

Perhaps our eyes are merely a blank film which is taken from us after our deaths to be developed elsewhere and screened as our life story in some infernal cinema or dispatched as microfilm into the sidereal void.

Baudrillard, Jean

30.

Dwell in though upon the Grandest, And the Grandest you shall see; Fix your mind upon the Highest, And the Highest you shall be.

Sade, Marquis De

33.

Television has lifted the manufacture of banality out of the sphere of handicraft and placed it in that of a major industry.

Sarraute, Nathalie

34.

Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.

Fumaroli, Marc

35.

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.

36.

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

Jung, Carl

37.

Makers of empire, they have fought for bigger things than crowns and higher seats than thrones.

Kaufman, Herbert

38.

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.

Barker, Joel A.

39.

Where there is no vision, the people perish. [Proverbs 29:18]

Marden, Orison Swett

43.

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

Swindoll, Charles

44.

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

45.

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

46.

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

47.

Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.

Swift, Jonathan

48.

It's easy to say no! when there's a deeper yes! burning inside.

Covey, Stephen R.

When the sun rises, do you not see a round disc of fire somewhat like a guinea? O no, no, I see an innumerable company of the heavenly host crying Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.

Blake, William

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
