The world and life have been mighty good to me. And I want to put something back.
Ted Turner
Nuclear war would really set back cable.
Ted Turner
If you never quit, you're never beaten.
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
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

Ted Turner
If you can get yourself where you're not afraid of dying, then you can move forward a lot faster.
Ted Turner

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
Men should be disqualified for public office. Women should run the planet. They're better than us.
Ted Turner
The mind is just another muscle.
Ted Turner
I've got a virtually limitless supply of bullshit.
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
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
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
If there is a God, he is not doing a good job of protecting the earth. He's kind of checked 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
