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
Man should be judged by the deeds done to help his fellow man.
Ted Turner
I don't watch entertainment. I haven't watched in years. I want to see serious news.
Ted Turner
Many times through the ages, like as not the chance appears, but because of indecision, man's fond hopes are drowned in tears.
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
The biggest thing I learned from losing? Winning's better.
Ted Turner
The chance for mistakes is about equal to the number of crew squared.
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
Christians are losers.
Ted Turner
We're too many people that's why we have global warming...on a voluntary basis, everybody in the world's got to pledge to themselves that one child is it.
Ted Turner
If you think you're a second-class citizen, you are.
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
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
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
We have to do more than keep media giants from growing larger they're already too big. We need a new set of rules that will break these huge companies to pieces.
Ted Turner
Nuclear war would really set back cable.
Ted Turner
I'm a millionaire, I guess, but I'm just a normal person and I like everybody, taxi drivers, whoever you are, to call me by my first name and talk to me on a man-to-man basis. I think the garbage collector is as important as the goddamned president.
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
