A leader has the capacity of vision, the ability to see where things are headed before people in general see those things.
The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. The public does not fully understand the world into which it is going. Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision. Those leaders who do not are ultimately judged failures, even though they may be popular at the moment.
Genius is the ability to see things invisible, to manipulate things intangible, to paint things that have no features

Imagination is the supreme endowment of the poet and romanticist. It is a kind of second sight, which conveys the owner of it to places he has never seen, and surrounds him with strange circumstances of which he is merely the spiritual eyewitness.
Genuine leadership comes from the quality of your vision and your ability to spark others to extraordinary performance.
There is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen.
Artists, musicians, scientists - if you have any kind of visionary aptitude, it's often something that you don't have a choice in. You have to do it.
Imagination is a very high sort of seeing.
The woman's vision is deep reaching, the man's far reaching.
