Is life so wretched? Isn't it rather your hands which are too small, your vision which is muddled? You are the one who must grow up.
Dag Hammarskjld
Men are influenced by big loud empty words, styes which swell the eyelids and impede vision of the truth.
Anthony Burgess
The power of a book lies in its power to turn a solitary act into a shared vision. As long as we have books, we are not alone.
Laura Welch Bush
The vision of the gods without the power of the gods. What a terrible gift. A glorious gift.
Orson Scott Card
Ive been blessed to find people who are smarter than I am, and they help me to execute the vision I have.
Russell Simmons
Capital isnt scarce; vision is.
Sam Walton
He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it.
James Allen
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
James Allen
A very great vision is needed, and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky.
Crazy Horse
Human nature simply cannot subsist without a hope and aim of some kind; as the sanity of the Old Testament truly said, where there is no vision the people perisheth. But it is precisely because an ideal is necessary to man that the man without ideals is in permanent danger of fanaticism.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
The most elusive and desired quality of leadership is vision. Vision is the perfume of the mind.
Harriet Rubin
The only true vision comes not from God but from the inmost recesses of the human mind.
Orson Scott Card
Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future.
James Earl Carter, Jr.
Obama is neither a socialist, nor a mere political accountant. He has some modest ideals, and may yet be an excellent president. But what is needed to revive liberal idealism is a set of new ideas on how to promote justice, equality and freedom in the world. Reagan, Thatcher, and Gorbachev, assisted in the end of an ideology, which once offered hope, and inspired real progress, but resulted in slavery and mass murder. We are still waiting for a new vision, which will lead to progress, but this time, we hope, without tyranny.
