More quotes by Ted Turner
If there is a God, he is not doing a good job of protecting the earth. He's kind of checked out.
Ted Turner
Be sure to set your goals so high that you can't possibly accomplish them in one lifetime. That way you'll always have something ahead of you. I made the mistake of setting my goals too low, and now I'm having a hard time coming up with new ones.
Ted Turner
There are too many people, that's why we have global warming. We have global warming because too many people are using too much stuff.
Ted Turner
Music has a great power for bringing people together. With so many forces in this world acting to drive wedges between people, it's important to preserve those things that help us experience our common humanity.
Ted Turner
When our time's up, it's up. All the money in the world won't buy you one more day.
Ted Turner
The U.N. had such lofty goals to eliminate poverty and stop war and cure diseases and help refugees - things that no one country could do.
Ted Turner
Nuclear war would really set back cable.
Ted Turner
If you think you're a second-class citizen, you are.
Ted Turner
I'm a very good thinker, but I sometimes grab the wrong word. I say something I didn't think through adequately. I mean, I don't type my speeches, then sit up there and read them off the teleprompter, you know. I wing it.
Ted Turner
I've got a virtually limitless supply of bullshit.
Ted Turner
John is very aware of the responsibilities that come with being a landowner. I also feel that way. We both see landownership as a personal investment, but also an opportunity to contribute to the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants.
Ted Turner
I mean, there's no point in sittin' around and cryin' about spilt milk. Gotta move on.
Ted Turner
I was gonna go broke if I didn't get things turned around real fast.
Ted Turner
I had more energy at 50. On the other hand, at 75, I've probably got a little more wisdom and good judgment than I had at 50 because I've got more experience. But I haven't really changed. I'm still driven by the same philosophy.
Ted Turner
I think we've already voted at the U.N., in the Security Council, to get rid of nuclear weapons. Let's get rid of them. Let's get rid of ours and then Iran will stop, I believe. And so everybody else will, because if everybody doesn't have them, then we're safe, at least safe from a nuclear attack.
Ted Turner
The worst thing you can do if you want to start a fight is to use derogatory terminology.
Ted Turner
Life is a game. Money is how we keep score.
Ted Turner
I like Obama. I don't know who could do a better job. He's got an incredibly tough situation, and a good heart and mind. I'd like to see him rally support a little better.
Ted Turner
When I got my statement in January, I was worth $2.2 billion. Then I got another statement in August that said I was worth $3.2 billion. So I figure it's only nine months' earnings, who cares?
Ted Turner
I like something with 'vice' in it.
