Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover

2.
An idea is a putting truth in check-mate.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

3.
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Williamson, Marianne

4.
Ideas are a capital that bears interest only in the hands of talent.
Rivarol, Antoine

5.
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

6.
An idea is not responsible for the people who believe in it.
Marquis, Don

7.
Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.
Penny, A. Owen

8.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
Picasso, Pablo

9.
The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.
Avery, Milton

10.
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

11.
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.

12.
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.

13.
The way to combat noxious ideas is with other ideas. The way to combat falsehoods is with truth.
William O. Douglas

14.
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo

15.
A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.
Maritain, Jacques

16.
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

17.
Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
Cameron, Julie

18.
I had a monumental idea this morning, but I didn't like it.
Samuel Goldwyn

19.
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France

20.
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.

21.
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard

22.
Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down.
Hector Berlioz

23.
But how shall I get ideas? Keep your wits open! Observe! Observe! Study! Study! But above all, Think! Think! And when a noble image is indelibly impressed upon the mind -- Act!
Marden, Orison Swett

24.
Getting an idea should be like sitting down on a pin. It should make you jump up and do something.
Simpson, E. L.

25.
They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities.
Einstein, Albert

26.
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

27.
A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

28.
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
Twain, Mark

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Everything begins with an idea.
Nightingale, Earl

32.
Good ideas are a dime a dozen, bad ones are free.
Horton, Doug

33.
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

34.
Ideas... they have the power
Hill, Napoleon

35.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

36.
An idea is the only level which moves the world.
Corey, Arthur F.

37.
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.

38.
If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he would make a fortune.
Niblack, Griff

39.
Ideas won't work unless you do.

40.
It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.
Keynes, John Maynard

41.
Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.
Trotsky, Leon

42.
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

43.
If you want to get across an idea, wrap it up in a person.
Bunche, Ralph

44.
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

45.
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

46.
There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Emile Chartier

47.
The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

48.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage

49.
Very simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds
Gourmont, Remy De

50.
Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!
Brown, Les
