My family and our neighbors and friends thought of Africa and its Africans as extensions of the stereotyped characters that we saw in movies and on television in films such as 'Tarzan' and in programs such as 'Ramar of the Jungle' and 'Sheena Queen of the Jungle.'

A retired teacher paid $62 000 towards her pension and nothing yes nothing for full family medical dental and vision coverage over her entire career. What will we pay her? $1.4 million in pension benefits and another $215 000 in health care benefit premiums over her lifetime.

I have these visions of myself being thirty thirty-five forty having a family.

The man who radiates good cheer who makes life happier wherever he meets it is always a man of vision and faith.

Practice means to perform over and over again in the face of all obstacles some act of vision of faith of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.

Vision looks upward and becomes faith.

There's tons of creative people in television that have one failure after another and they just step up higher. I could never get over that. When I had a failure there was no such thing as just getting over it.

It's a failure of national vision when you regard children as weapons and talents as materials you can mine assay and fabricate for profit and defense.

You must not demand the failure of your peers because the more good things that are around in film in television in theater - why the better it is for all of us.

The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency - the belief that the here and now is all there is.

This dullness of vision regarding the importance of the general welfare to the individual is the measure of the failure of our schools and churches to teach the spiritual significance of genuine democracy.

Every great work every big accomplishment has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision and often just before the big achievement comes apparent failure and discouragement.

I think we're the only jokeless show on television. I mean really we have no setups and no punch lines. It's not a joke show. There are funny lines and funny moments but again the comedy is born of the human experience and awkward pauses are a great part of what it is to be human.

There are many reasons why Mitt Romney should not become president but perhaps the most important of all is the narrowness of his experience perspective and vision.

The printed page conveys information and commitment and requires active involvement. Television conveys emotion and experience and it's very limited in what it can do logically. It's an existential experience - there and then gone.

There's a positive side to film and television the sense of feeding into the theater... Your fans will follow you hopefully and be open-minded to see you play other things and experience other stories you want to tell.

An illness is like a journey into a far country it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision.

There should be a sympathy with freedom a desire to give it scope founded not upon visionary ideas but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order.

Common sense is the measure of the possible it is composed of experience and prevision it is calculation applied to life.

The statesman's duty is to bridge the gap between his nation's experience and his vision.

My mind withdrew its thoughts from experience extracting itself from the contradictory throng of sensuous images that it might find out what that light was wherein it was bathed... And thus with the flash of one hurried glance it attained to the vision of That Which Is.

The vision that the founding fathers had of rule of law and equality before the law and no one above the law that is a very viable vision but instead of that we have quasi mob rule.

Real equality is immensely difficult to achieve it needs continual revision and monitoring of distributions. And it does not provide buffers between members so they are continually colliding or frustrating each other.

At Current television is all we do - that's our business. We don't have amusement parks I have to worry about we don't have environmental cases against us we don't have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.
