I've always been too hard on myself to behave like I've arrived or even to enjoy whatever success I've had. I've always envisioned myself higher than where I was and I still do. With each success I think 'That's nice but I'm supposed to go there!'

You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range and delivering a long-range plan and executing on that.

We need to reach that happy stage of our development when differences and diversity are not seen as sources of division and distrust but of strength and inspiration.

Vision is perhaps our greatest strength... it has kept us alive to the power and continuity of thought through the centuries it makes us peer into the future and lends shape to the unknown.

To achieve lasting literature fictional or factual a writer needs perceptive vision absorptive capacity and creative strength.

I had a vision with which I might have saved my people but I had not the strength to do it.

When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

When I use my strength in the service of my vision it makes no difference whether or not I am afraid.

I think track is still one of the most exciting participant sports but we haven't been able to capitalize on that excitement through television and the print media.

The two major things that changed the makeup of all professional sports are money generated by television and courts that players went to in order to win their freedom as free agents.
