The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.
Murray Bookchin
The people who shape our lives and our cultures have the ability to communicate a vision or a quest or a joy or a mission.
Anthony Robbins
The form of my poem rises out of a past that so overwhelms the present with its worth and vision that I'm at a loss to explain my delusion that there exist any real links between that past and a future worthy of it.
Hart Crane
The five steps in teaching an employee new skills are preparation, explanation, showing, observation and supervision.
Bruce Barton

Cynthia Ozick
The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal.
Henry Miller
I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.
General George S. Patton

John C. Maxwell
An instant's visitor the godhead shone. On life's thin border awhile the Vision stood And bent over earth's pondering forehead curve. Interpreting a recondite beauty and bliss In colour's hieroglyphs of mystic sense, It wrote the lines of a significant myth Telling of a greatness of spiritual dawns, A brilliant code penned with the sky for page.
Sri Aurobindo

Thomas Jefferson
