Motivational Quotes
Imagination
In that way imagination and intelligence enter into our existence in the part of servants of the primary instincts.
Best Quotes about Imagination
Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in my shop. The inventions I have conceived in this way have always worked. In thirty years there has not been a single exception. My first electric motor, the vacuum wireless light, my turbine engine and many other devices have all been developed in exactly this way.
Tesla, Nikola
Man is an imagining being.
Bachelard, Gaston
Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which is everything in this world.
Pascal, Blaise
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
Thoreau, Henry David
We are what we imagine ourselves to be.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt
To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is. He said, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived.
Bach, Richard
I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head. First I see the ball where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting up high on the bright green grass. Then the scene quickly changes, and I see the ball going there: its path, trajectory, and shape, even its behavior on landing. Then there is a sort of fade-out, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images into reality.
Nicklaus, Jack
The imaginations which people have of one another are the solid facts of society.
Cooley, Charles Horton
One who has imagination without learning has wings without feet.
Joubert, Joseph
Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.
Bunuel, Luis
The genius of Man in our time has gone into jet-propulsion, atom-splitting, penicillin-curing, etc. There is none over for works of imagination; of spiritual insight or mystical enlightenment. I asked for bread and was given a tranquilizer. It is important to recognize that in our time man has not written one word, thought one thought, put two notes or two bricks together, splashed color on to canvas or concrete into space, in a manner which will be of any conceivable imaginative interest to posterity.
Muggeridge, Malcolm
There are no days in life so memorable as those which vibrate to some stroke of the imagination.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print, and begin to build.
Collier, Robert
Celebrate what you want to see more of.
Peters, Thomas J.
Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions.
Einstein, Albert
If you want a quality, act as if you already had it. Try the as if technique.
James, William
Not our logical faculty, but our imaginative one is king over us. I might say, priest and prophet to lead us to heaven-ward, or magician and wizard to lead us hellward.
Carlyle, Thomas
Imagination... its limits are only those of the mind itself.
Serling, Rod
Reason can answer questions, but imagination has to ask them.
Gerard, Ralph
You cannot depend on your judgments when your imagination is out of focus.
Twain, Mark
By visualizing your goals, you can get your subconscious to work toward making these mental pictures come true.
Success Magazine
Death is the tyrant of the imagination.
Cornwall, Barry
Imagination gallops; judgment merely walks.
Saying
The opportunities of man are limited only by his imagination. But so few have imagination that there are ten thousand fiddlers to one composer.
Kettering, Charles F.
The imagination is the spur of delights... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?
Sade, Marquis De
The great successful men of the world have used their imaginations... they think ahead and create their mental picture, and the go to work materializing that picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building -- steadily building.
Collier, Robert
The mind must see visual achievement of the purpose before action is initiated.
Douglas, Mack R.
There is nothing more frightful than imagination without taste.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
If you close your eyes, you could just as well imagine me to be vintage Ali MacGraw, circa 1968.
Bernhard, Sandra
To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind.
Stevens, Wallace
Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art.
Tom Stoppard
Begin to imagine what the desirable outcome would be like. Go over these mental pictures and delineate details and refinements. Play them over and over to yourself.
Maltz, Maxwell
Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything.
Miller, Henry
Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our life.
Weil, Simone
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.
Einstein, Albert
For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.
Maltz, Maxwell
Let your imagination release your imprisoned possibilities.
Schuller, Robert H.
Act as if you have already achieved your goal and it is yours.
Anthony, Dr. Robert
Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind's eye and you will be drawn toward it. Picture yourself vividly as winning and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success. Great living starts with a picture, held in your imagination, of what you would like to do or be.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
The human imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.
Berger, John
Some people have just enough imagination to spoil their judgment.
Mallory, Paul
Our minds become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.
Hill, Napoleon
The bridges that you cross before you come to them are over rivers that aren't there.
Brown, Gene
The imagination is literally the workshop wherein are fashioned all plans created by man.
Hill, Napoleon
It is important to rely on your imagination for your sense of humor and your memory for your truths. Not the other way around.
To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?
Blake, William
It is more than likely that the brain itself is, in origin and development, only a sort of great clot of genital fluid held in suspense or reserved. This hypothesis would explain the enormous content of the brain as a maker or presenter of images.
Pound, Ezra
When you stop having dreams and ideals -- well, you might as well stop altogether.
Anderson, Marian
Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.
Conrad, Joseph
An unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind.
Ruskin, John
