More quotes by Ted Turner
Sports is like a war without the killing.
Ted Turner
We must go through a natural revolution if we are to survive on earth. We need to change people's perceptions. If there's no environment, there's no human race. We are in a state of global denial.
Ted Turner
I see the whole field of environmentalis m and population as nothing more than the survival of the human species. I have wanted to have some bumper sticker made up saying 'Save the Humans'. At the bottom of it all, we are trying to save ourselves.
Ted Turner

Ted Turner

Ted Turner
I've never run into a guy who could win at the top level in anything today and didn't have the right attitude, didn't give it everything he had, at least while he was doing it wasn't prepared and didn't have the whole program worked out.
Ted Turner
Life is like a B-movie. You don't want to leave in the middle of it, but you don't want to see it again.
Ted Turner
The word impossible does not exist for me. I've got a lot of signal flags in my flag bag, but there is not a white one in there. I am going to keep fighting until the day I die - and might keep on fighting afterward ... depends on where I am.
Ted Turner
I travel a lot. I'm on the move.
Ted Turner
I mean, there's no point in sittin' around and cryin' about spilt milk. Gotta move on.
Ted Turner
Life is a game. Money is how we keep score.
Ted Turner
The world and life have been mighty good to me. And I want to put something back.
Ted Turner
