Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard

2.
Once I thought ideas were exceptions not the rule. That is not so. Ideas are so plentiful that they ride by on air. You've only to reach out and snatch one...
Mckeun, Rod

3.
A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.
Berry, John

4.
Man's mind, stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

5.
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
Twain, Mark

6.
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

7.
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover

8.
Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.
Hugo, Victor

9.
He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Disraeli, Benjamin

10.
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Williamson, Marianne

11.
Labor gives birth to ideas.
Rohn, Jim

12.
A great idea is usually original to more than one discoverer. Great ideas come when the world needs them. Great ideas surround the world's ignorance and press for admission.
Phelps, Elizabeth Stuart

13.
There is no prosperity, trade, art, city, or great material wealth of any kind, but if you trace it home, you will find it rooted in a thought of some individual man. --
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Whitehead, Alfred North

15.
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos

16.
It's easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out-of-date.
Oech, Roger Von

17.
If you want to get across an idea, wrap it up in a person.
Bunche, Ralph

18.
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot

19.
Ideas... they have the power
Hill, Napoleon

20.
The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don't like their rules, whose would you use?
Carnegie, Dale

21.
Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.
Harris, Sidney J.

22.
Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
Eliot, George

23.
A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

24.
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

25.
Man's fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.
Ernst, Morris L.

26.
It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.
Keynes, John Maynard

27.
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Edison, Thomas A.

28.
A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.
Proust, Marcel

29.
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

30.
Good ideas and innovations must be driven into existence by courageous patience.
Rickover, Hyman G.

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.
Ideas won't work unless you do.

33.
Good ideas are a dime a dozen, bad ones are free.
Horton, Doug

34.
An idea is not responsible for the people who believe in it.
Marquis, Don

35.
It is the nature of thought to find its way into action.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

36.
Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things.
Dogen

37.
The ideas of a time are like the clothes of a season: they are as arbitrary, as much imposed by some superior will which is seldom explicit. They are utilitarian and political, the instruments of smooth-running government.
Lewis, Wyndham

38.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

39.
In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations. Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.
Montapert, Alfred A.

40.
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry

41.
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.

42.
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.

43.
Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
Cameron, Julie

44.
We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.
Caird, Mona

45.
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

46.
Our greatest lack is not money for any undertaking, but rather ideas, If the ideas are good, cash will somehow flow to where it is needed.
Schuller, Robert H.

47.
An idea discovered is much better possessed.
Young

48.
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

49.
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

50.
Ideas too are a life and a world.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
