“That the sky is brighter than the earth means little unless the earth itself is appreciated and enjoyed. Its beauty loved gives the right to aspire to the radiance of the sunrise and sunset.”
“Love? Why ... it is what everybody feels for everybody else.”
“Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.”
More on Vision
“People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.”
“Strategy equals execution. All the great ideas and visions in the world are worthless if they can't be implemented rapidly and efficiently. Good leaders delegate and empower others liberally, but they pay attention to details, every day.”
“My ties and ballasts leave me - I travel - I sail - My elbows rest in the sea-gaps. I skirt the sierras. My palms cover continents - I am afoot with my vision.”
More on Purpose
“A man or woman is seldom happy unless he or she is sustaining him or herself and making a contribution to others.”
“There is some kiss we want with the whole of our lives.”
“Yet you shall not deplore having known blindness, nor regret having been deaf. For in that day you shall know the hidden purposes in all things. And you shall bless darkness as you would bless light.”
