Roosevelt was the one who had the vision to change our policy from isolationism to world leadership. That was a terrific revolution. Our country’s never been the same since. – W. Averell Harriman
It is in Rousseau’s writing above all that history begins to turn from upper-class honour to middle-class humanitarianism. Pity, sympathy and compassion lie at the centre of his moral vision. Values associated with the feminine begin to infiltrate social existence as a whole, rather than being confined to the domestic sphere. – Terry Eagleton
Having drive is a big part of success, along with integrity. You need to have a clear vision of what you want and take the steps to achieve it, even if that sometimes means playing gigs in tiny clubs. – Vonda Shepard
Everything about filmmaking tries to distract you from that first fine rapturous vision you have of the film. – Ted Kotcheff
My interest in space started early, but for many years, I could not find any space-related investments that really penciled-out for venture. That changed in 2009 when Elon Musk came to us with a big vision to explore Mars while producing rockets at a fraction of a price and making space accessible. – Steve Jurvetson
We went to L.A. as a family, with a sort of vision that we were going to ‘make it,’ whatever that meant. – Summer Phoenix
It’s important for Republicans to nominate someone who not only has a vision of how to create jobs, but who has done it. That’s why I am endorsing Texas Governor Rick Perry for President. – Sam Graves
All these directors, and I would include the Coen brothers and Quentin, have a very unique vision of what they want. They listen to ideas and make people feel like everyone is making the film. – Steve Buscemi
Hardcore fans have a vision in their head, and if they look at your cosplay of it, you may not fit their vision. – Yaya Han
The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it. – Thucydides
I think it goes back to the fact that the evangelical community often does not have a biblical vision of God. – Tony Campolo
The only way to predict if there’s a cloud on your horizon due to glaucoma is to get tested. No matter what the diagnosis, the forecast is for clear vision in the years ahead. – Willard Scott
I think it is not necessary at this time to put forth a grand vision such as an East Asian Community. What we must do before that is create scenarios for Japan’s response in case of a serious territorial incident. – Yoshihiko Noda
Doing Good is a simple and universal vision. A vision to which each and every one of us can connect and contribute to its realisation. A vision based on the belief that by doing good deeds, positive thinking and affirmative choice of words, feelings and actions, we can enhance goodness in the world. – Shari Arison
Almost every band has somebody who’s the main songwriter and who has a vision, a very clear idea of how a song should be. – Stephen Malkmus
Broadly speaking, the discovery of X-rays has increased the keenness of our vision ten thousand times, and we can now ‘see’ the individual atoms and molecules. – William Henry Bragg
Vision is dandy, but sustainable company excellence comes from a huge stable of able managers. – Tom Peters
We could say we want the Web to reflect a vision of the world where everything is done democratically. To do that, we get computers to talk with each other in such a way as to promote that ideal. – Tim Berners-Lee
Animal vision – including human vision – is so biased toward movement that we don’t technically see stationary objects at all. – Sam Kean

Networks like Adult Swim allow artists to be artists and allow their vision to come through without a lot of tinkering. I worked on ‘Moral Orel’ and ‘Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole,’ and they bothered us very little. They very, very seldom came to us and said ‘Change this,’ or ‘You can’t do that,’ or ‘We’d like to see this.’ – Scott Adsit
Marc by Marc Jacobs was my favorite. The stage was so big, and there were so many people there. I had very bad vision during the show because I forgot to put in my contacts, but I didn’t fall or anything. – Sung Jin Park
Governments follow their people. A great deal has to do with the vision of the leadership of governments. They have a vision, and they translate that to their people and to their counterparts in other countries. You can fulfill and achieve a great deal if you get along well as individuals, as people, as persons. – Salman Khurshid
The Savior isn’t our last chance; He is our only chance. Our only chance to overcome self-doubt and catch a vision of who we may become. Our only chance to repent and have our sins washed clean. – Sheri L. Dew
My childhood landscape was not land but the end of the land – the cold, salt, running hills of the Atlantic. I sometimes think my vision of the sea is the clearest thing I own. – Sylvia Plath
Fashion is much more collaborative than one might think. You have to have an idea and vision, and you have to communicate that vision to a team of people, and you have to create an environment that allows those people to give the best that they can give. – Tom Ford
When we say Church of All Nations, it’s a vision given to me, that the church will touch all the world. – T. B. Joshua
Director Gary Ross has created an adaptation that is faithful in both narrative and theme, but he’s also brought a rich and powerful vision of Panem, its brutality and excesses, to the film as well. His world building’s fantastic, whether it be the Seam or the Capitol. – Suzanne Collins
Transforming a brand into a socially responsible leader doesn’t happen overnight by simply writing new marketing and advertising strategies. It takes effort to identify a vision that your customers will find credible and aligned with their values. – Simon Mainwaring
