My life has been a gift up to this point and I've been blessed beyond my wildest imagination. And wherever this ride takes me is where I'm going.

I never in my wildest imagination dreamed that I would somehow become a sports commentator.

In my wildest imagination I never thought that the fifth of six children born to Helen and Buddy Watts - in a poor black neighborhood in the poor rural community of Eufaula Oklahoma - would someday be called Congressman.

I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me I guess.

One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.

No one should be able to enter a wilderness by mechanical means.

In my wildest dreams I never thought - well I never thought I'd work.

I've succeeded beyond my wildest dreams - financially and the amount of fun I have in my life.

The Washington black community was able to succeed beyond his wildest dreams. I mean we had our own newspapers our own restaurants our own theaters our own small shops our own clubs our own Masonic lodges.

To be here today is just beyond my wildest dreams.
