Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good.

2.
In every great time there is some one idea at work which is more powerful than any other, and which shapes the events of the time and determines their ultimate issues.
Bacon, Francis

3.
It is the nature of thought to find its way into action.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

4.
Ideas too are a life and a world.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

5.
Think for thyself one good idea, but known to be thine own, is better than a thousand gleaned from fields by others sown.
Wilson, Alexander

6.
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France

7.
Take the obvious, add a cupful of brains, a generous pinch of imagination, a bucketful of courage and daring, stir well and bring to a boil.
Baruch, Bernard M.

8.
Such as take lodgings in a head that's to be let unfurnished.
Butler, Samuel

9.
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.

10.
Concepts, like individuals, have their histories and are just as incapable of withstanding the ravages of time as are individuals. But in and through all this they retain a kind of homesickness for the scenes of their childhood.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

11.
Ideas lose themselves as quickly as quail, and one must wing them the minute they rise out of the grass, or they are gone.
Kennedy, Thomas F.

12.
A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.
Berry, John

13.
Many ideas are good for a limited time -- not forever.
Townsend, Robert

14.
There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than politicians think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.
Foucault, Michel

15.
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.
Hugo, Victor

16.
The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.
Avery, Milton

17.
Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.
Hugo, Victor

18.
Whenever I hear people talking about liberal ideas, I am always astounded that men should love to fool themselves with empty sounds. An idea should never be liberal; it must be vigorous, positive, and without loose ends so that it may fulfill its divine mission and be productive. The proper place for liberality is in the realm of the emotions.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

19.
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover

20.
A man is not necessarily intelligent because he has plenty of ideas, any more than he is a good general because he has plenty of soldiers.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

21.
The most important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them.
Bragg, Sir William

22.
It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.
Keynes, John Maynard

23.
To die for an idea; it is unquestionably noble. But how much nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true!
H. L. Mencken

24.
If you have the same ideas as everybody else but have them one week earlier than everyone else then you will be hailed as a visionary. But if you have them five years earlier you will be named a lunatic.
Jones, Barry

25.
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

26.
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck

27.
All opening moves were the same, like in chess. You don't have to come up with anything new, there's no point, because you're both after the same thing anyway. The game soon finds its own way and it's only at that point that you need a strategy.
Paolo Giordano

28.
Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down.
Hector Berlioz

29.
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

30.
It doesn't matter how new an idea is: what matters is how new it becomes.
Canetti, Elias

31.
It's very good for an idea to be commonplace. The important thing is that a new idea should develop out of what is already there so that it soon becomes an old acquaintance. Old acquaintances aren't by any means always welcome, but at least one can't be mistaken as to who or what they are.
Fitzgerald, Penelope

32.
A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.
Proust, Marcel

33.
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot

34.
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted

35.
A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

36.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage

37.
Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
Eliot, George

38.
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Pauling, Linus

39.
Ideas are the roots of creation.
Dimnet, Ernest

40.
Ideas control the world.
Garfield, James A.

41.
No one has ever had an idea in a dress suit.
Sir Frederick G. Banting

42.
We are not to make the ideas of contentment and aspiration quarrel, for God made them fast friends. A man may aspire, and yet be quite content until it is time to raise; and both flying and resting are but parts of one contentment. The very fruit of the gospel is aspiration. It is to the heart what spring is to the earth, making every root, and bud, and bough desire to be more. -
Beecher, Henry Ward

43.
Ideas are, in truth, force.
James, Henry

44.
It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it; often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.
Gide, Andre

45.
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower

46.
The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.
Keynes, John Maynard

47.
A handsome parson is fit for nothing but ti put ideas into the young woman's heads.
Judith Brocklehurst

48.
Ideas are fatal to caste.
Forster, Edward M.

49.
If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he would make a fortune.
Niblack, Griff

50.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them. When the idea is new, its custodians have fervor, live for it, and if need be, die for it.
Whitehead, Alfred North
