I have spent my entire adult life trying to make Liberty University the world-class Christian university that was envisioned at its founding.

God has given us an imagination, and our imagination is really the principle tool from which all creativity and artistry comes from.

If you could envision the type of person God intended you to be, you would rise up and never be the same again.

If you have the gift of frustration and the deep sense that the world is a mess, thank God for that; not everyone has that gift of vision. It also means that you have a responsibility to lead us in new ways.

The greatest sin of political imagination: Thinking there is no other way except the filthy rotten system we have today.

Protesters are still on the fringes like satellites, revolving around the system. But prophets and poets lead us into a new world, beyond simply yelling at the old one.

Little people with big dreams are reimagining the world.

If you have the gift of frustration and the deep sense that the world is a mess, thank God for that; not everyone has that gift of vision.

Most pastors have a hard time grasping a vision. But vision is the indispensable quality of a leader.

I want to see, real, living, and in the hours of my own days, that glory I create as an illusion! I want it real! I want to know that there is someone, somewhere, who wants it, too! Or else what is the use of seeing it, and working, and burning oneself for an impossible vision? A spirit, too, needs fuel. It can run dry.

All work is an act of creating and comes from the same source: from an inviolate capacity to see through one's own eyes—which means: the capacity to perform a rational identification -which means: the capacity to see, to connect and to make what had not been seen, connected and made before.

Identify the dominant philosophy of a society and you can predict its future.
