If there is a God, he is not doing a good job of protecting the earth. He's kind of checked out.

More quotes by Ted Turner
I'm no genius. I'm not at all I just happen to look five or 10 years ahead and think things through.
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
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
Women? I love women. Life would have been virtually zero without them. Journalism? I really feel like I am a journalist... And courage? I had a boat named Courageous.
Ted Turner
Sports is like a war without the killing.
Ted Turner
The chance for mistakes is about equal to the number of crew squared.
Ted Turner
I fantasize about everything being a fireman, an Indian chief, climbing mountains. Anything is possible.
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'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
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
I don't watch entertainment. I haven't watched in years. I want to see serious news.
Ted Turner
The whole idea of television news or any kind of news is to inform people about things they need to know about.
Ted Turner
If you think you're a second-class citizen, you are.
Ted Turner
I love this planet I want to see the environment preserved and I want to see the human race preserved. And I'd like to see everybody living decently in a more equitable, kind-hearted, thoughtful, generous world.
Ted Turner
Man should be judged by the deeds done to help his fellow man.
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 just love it when people say I can't do something. There's nothing that makes me feel better, because all my life people have said I wasn't going to make it.
Ted Turner
Struggling hard to achieve something is the most fun I get.
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
