1 " Create in your mind a picture of what you want and then live that vision as if it already exists. "
― Mensah Oteh , The Good Life: Transform your life through one good day
2 " Your Soul sees your best, most vital self. She holds that vision when you do not. She knows you are worthy. "
3 " I promise you that the moment you unwaveringly commit to your own vision, seen and unseen powers will unite to make that vision a reality. "
― Toni Sorenson ,
4 " Just because you cannot see it now, does not mean it is not there or not possible. See yourself succeeding and own that vision through all your planning and hard work. "
― Archibald Marwizi , Making Success Deliberate
5 " I started to walk away, but she [Clarisse] called out, " Percy?" " Yeah?" " When you, uh, had that vision about your friends..." " You were one of them," I promised, " Just don't tell anybody, okay? Or I'de have to kill you." A faint smile flickered across her face " See you later." " See you "
6 " Culture is more important than vision. Some leaders have great vision, but have created a toxic culture where that vision will never happen. "

― Max Strom
8 " The vision I see in the mirror is me, who I am, supposedly, but that vision does not express the way my mind works or the way I feel inside. A realization creeps over me, the words tumbling into my head quietly like falling leaves.I.Am.Crazy.This is my new shameful truth. Something changed yesterday. A door has been opened that I can never close again. I touch my reflection, the glass smooth and cold, not really believing that the girl I see is me. "
9 " I believe that if that vision or dream comes from God, He will also give you the strategy to bring it to pass. "
10 " So don't be worried if you have the sub-standard version barking out the orders. It will continue to do so, just be aware of it. Than call it for what it is, gremlin for the best you. Then grab that vision of the best you and get up and give it everything you have got. "

11 " I closed my eyes then but it was too dark to clearly see that vision that my body would conjure out of blood and the inside of skin when light hit it, but I'd seen it so often, examined it so carefully, that it wasn't hard for me to call to mind. "
― China Miéville , This Census-Taker
12 " Once upon a time the future was supposed to be brighter, shinier and more fun. When did that vision pass? When did the word 'new' lose it's luster? Now the past is supposed to hold the hopes we once confided to the future. We're directing attachments that used to go forward backward. "
13 " If the essential task of middle managers is reinvention, when is that task to be carried out? The answer is, during time that is not used up directing day-to-day business. The fact that managers have time on their hands (i.e., their operations tasks take up less than eight hours per day) gives them time for reinvention. The extra time is not waste, but slack. Without it they could function in only their operational roles. Reinvention would be impossible because the people who could make it happen are just too busy to take the time.Even companies that didn't fire their change centers have hurt themselves by encouraging their middle managers to stay extremely busy. In order to enable change, companies have to learn that keeping managers busy is a blunder. If you have busy managers working under you, they are an indictment of your vision and your capacity to transform that vision into reality. Cut them some slack. "

14 " Watching John Lasseter's films, I think I can understand better than anyone that what he's doing, is going straight ahead with his vision and working really hard to get that vision into film form. And I feel that my understanding this of him is my friendship towards him. "
15 " To write a novel is to embark on a quest that is very romantic. People have visions, and the next step is to execute them. That's a very romantic project. Like Edvard Munch's strange dreamlike canvases where people are stylized, like 'The Scream.' Munch must have had that vision in a dream, he never saw it. "
