Visualization Quotes and Quotations
 Before you begin a thing remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead. ... You can only see one thing clearly, and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.  Man can only receive what he sees himself receiving. A person can grow only as much as his horizon allows. All prosperity begins in the mind and is dependent only upon the full use of our creative imagination. If we have not achieved our early dreams, we must either find new ones or see what we can salvage from the old. If we have accomplished what we set out to do in our youth, we need not weep like Alexander the Great that we have no more worlds to conquer. What man can imagine he may one day achieve. Envisioning the end is enough to put the means in motion. Our visions begin with our desires. It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top. One must desire something to be alive: perhaps absolute satisfaction is only another name for Death. The truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is. When your dreams tire, they go underground and out of kindness that's where they stay. Nothing happens unless first a dream. The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. The history of all times, and of today especially, teaches that... women will be forgotten if they forget to think about themselves. Instead of thinking about where you are, think about where you want to be. It takes twenty years of hard work to become an overnight success. To the lack of incentive to effort, which is the awful shadow under which we live, may be traced the wreck and ruin of scores of colored youth. The moment of enlightenment is when a person's dreams of possibilities become images of probabilities. Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal. When we can't dream any longer, we die. Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity. You know, my children, that humanity advances only by forming itself an ideal and endeavoring to realize it. Every passion has its ideal, which is modified by that of the whole. It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger for them. The best antidote I have found is to yearn for something. As long as you yearn, you can't congeal: there is a forward motion to yearning. Every woman dreams of her own political career and her own place in life. Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall at last unveil. Imagination is the highest kite that can fly. Who would ever give up the reality of dreams for relative knowledge? Dreams are the sources of action, the meeting and the end, a resting place among the flight of things. Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go. I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. It may be that those who do most, dream most. I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. It's our dreams that keep us going, that separate us from the beasts. I wouldn't even want to live if I thought it was all just eating and sleeping and taking off my clothes. A couple of times a day I sit quietly and visualize my body fighting the AIDS virus. It's the same as me sitting and seeing myself hit the perfect serve. I did that often when I was an athlete. 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. Imagination has always had powers of resurrection that no science can match. The artist doesn't see things as they are, but as he is. Make-believe colors the past with innocent distortion, and it swirls ahead of us in a thousand ways-in science, in politics, in every bold intention. It is part of our collective lives, entwining our past and our future ... a particularly rewarding aspect of life itself. We are governed not by armies, but by ideas. One of your most powerful inner resources is your own creativity. Be willing to try on something new and play the game full-out. No vision and you perish; No ideal, and you're lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high. Five minutes, just before going to sleep, given to a bit of directed imagination regarding achievement possibilities of the morrow, will steadily and increasingly bear fruit, particularly if all ideas of difficulty, worry or fear are resolutely ruled out and replaced by those of accomplishment and smiling courage. With our progress we have destroyed our only weapon against tedium: that rare weakness we call imagination. You can vitally influence your life from within by auto-suggestion. The first thing each morning, and the last thing each night, suggest to yourself specific ideas that you wish to embody in your character and personality. Address such suggestions to yourself, silently or aloud, until they are deeply impressed upon your mind. Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them. They make the impossible happen. When there is no vision, people perish.
