More quotes by Ted Turner
Men should be disqualified for public office. Women should run the planet. They're better than us.
Ted Turner
The worst thing you can do if you want to start a fight is to use derogatory terminology.
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
The mind is just another muscle.
Ted Turner
I didn't care what, how much adversity life threw at me. I intended to get to the top.
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
Man should be judged by the deeds done to help his fellow man.
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
CNN anchor Gwen Scott claimed it is common knowledge that Turner sits in his office and smokes marijuana.
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
When our time's up, it's up. All the money in the world won't buy you one more day.
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
The sad thing about destroying the environment is that we're going to take the rest of life with us. The bluebirds will be gone, and the elephants will be gone, and the tigers will be gone, and the pandas will be gone.
Ted Turner
If I sold all my liabilities, I wouldn't own anything. My wife's a liability, my kids are liabilities, and I haven't sold them.
Ted Turner
I'm just a socialist at heart.
Ted Turner
Over a three year period, I gave away half of what I had. To be honest, my hands shook as I signed it away. I knew I was taking myself out of the race to be the richest man in the world.
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
If there is a God, he is not doing a good job of protecting the earth. He's kind of checked out.
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 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
