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.
Martha Graham

Your neighbor's vision is as true for him as your own vision is true for you.
Miguel de Unamuno

I think I have told you, but if I have not, you must have understood, that a man who has a vision is not able to use the power of it until after he has performed the vision on earth for the people to see.
Black Elk

Also, as I lay there thinking of my vision, I could see it all again and feel the meaning with a part of me like a strange power glowing in my body; but when the part of me that talks would try to make words for the meaning, it would be like fog and get away from me.
Black Elk

And if the great fear had not come upon me, as it did, and forced me to do my duty, I might have been less good to the people than some man who had never dreamed at all, even with the memory of so great a vision in me.
Black Elk

But I think I have done right to save the vision in this way, even though I may die sooner because I did it; for I know the meaning of the vision is wise and beautiful and good; and you can see that I am only a pitiful old man after all.
Black Elk

You remember that my great vision came to me when I was only nine years old, and you have seen that I was not much good for anything until after I had performed the horse dance near the mouth of the Tongue River during my eighteenth summer.
Black Elk

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

To use the power of the bison, I had to perform that part of my vision for the people to see.
Black Elk

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.
Thomas Hardy

Strategic planning is worthless - unless there is first a strategic vision.
John Naisbitt

It seems some have chosen to ignore or have simply forgotten the big-picture vision promoted by Dr. King and his kin.
Al Sharpton

I think some aspects of writing can be taught. Obviously, you can't teach vision or talent. But you can help with comfort.
Toni Morrison

Every age needs men who will redeem the time by living with a vision of the things that are to be.
Adlai E. Stevenson

Enhance and intensify one's vision of that synthesis of truth and beauty which is the highest and deepest reality.
Ovid

Is life so wretched? Isn't it rather your hands which are too small, your vision which is muddled? You are the one who must grow up.
Dag Hammarskjold

Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for - because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.
Peter Marshall

Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.
Bruce Barton

True originality consists not in a new manner but in a new vision.
Edith Wharton

I've been blessed to find people who are smarter than I am, and they help me to execute the vision I have.
Russell Simmons
