More quotes by Bill Bradley
Imagination allows us to escape the predictable. It enables us to reply to the common wisdom that we cannot soar by saying, 'Just watch!'
Bill Bradley

Bill Bradley
Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.
Bill Bradley
When you make speeches you elicit expectations against which you will be held accountable.
Bill Bradley
The only way to be true to our American tradition is to maintain absolute governmental neutrality regarding religious beliefs and practices
Bill Bradley
I think the political process has degenerated into name-calling and extremism, and I think that that's unfortunate.
Bill Bradley
The taste of defeat has a richness of experience all its own.
Bill Bradley
Sports is a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and achieving against great odds. Athletes, in times of difficulty, can be important role models.
Bill Bradley
We need to get beyond the politics of the moment, the deficit of the hour, the military count of the day, the numbers that rarely shape events. Our long-term interests must be in people and in the values of democracy and individual liberty.
Bill Bradley
