Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
This is my answer to the gap between ideas and action - I will write it out.
Hortense Calisher

2.
The best ideas are common property.
Seneca

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.

7.
Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
Cameron, Julie

8.
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

9.
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard

10.
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

11.
If you want to get across an idea, wrap it up in a person.
Bunche, Ralph

12.
An idea is worth nothing if it has no champion.

13.
Ideas... they have the power
Hill, Napoleon

14.
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Williamson, Marianne

15.
Man's mind, stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

16.
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot

17.
I had a monumental idea this morning, but I didn't like it.
Samuel Goldwyn

18.
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France

19.
It's easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out-of-date.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

20.
A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

21.
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.

22.
The difference between people and ideas is... only superficial.
Rorty, Richard

23.
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

24.
Not just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wander whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

25.
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

26.
Never hesitate to steal a good idea.
Neuharth, Al

27.
Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.
Penny, A. Owen

28.
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Pound, Ezra

29.
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

30.
Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down.
Hector Berlioz

31.
If you are possessed by an idea, you find it expressed everywhere, you even smell it.
Mann, Thomas

32.
Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one.
Chartier, Alain

33.
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Pauling, Linus

34.
Ideas control the world.
Garfield, James A.

35.
Man's fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.
Ernst, Morris L.

36.
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.

37.
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

38.
I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down. I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught.
Georgia O'Keeffe

39.
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover

40.
Ideas are invented only as correctives to the past. Through repeated rectification of this kind one may hope to disengage an idea that is valid.
Bachelard, Gaston

41.
Go out and buy yourself a five-cent pencil and a ten-cent notebook and begin to write down some million-dollar ideas for yourself.
Grinde, Bob

42.
The idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called an idea at all.
Hubbard, Elbert

43.
There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Emile Chartier

44.
A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.
