Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
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

2.
The best ideas are common property.
Seneca

3.
When patterns are broken, new worlds can emerge.
Kupferberg, Tuli

4.
An idea is not responsible for the people who believe in it.
Marquis, Don

5.
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

6.
So many new ideas are at first strange and horrible, though ultimately valuable that a very heavy responsibility rests upon those who would prevent their dissemination.
J. B. S. Haldane

7.
A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.
Maritain, Jacques

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower

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

13.
I'm not impressed with the power of a corporate president. I am impressed with the power of ideas.
Mason, Ken

14.
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
Twain, Mark

15.
He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Disraeli, Benjamin

16.
Ideas... they have the power
Hill, Napoleon

17.
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

18.
If you are possessed by an idea, you find it expressed everywhere, you even smell it.
Mann, Thomas

19.
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Pauling, Linus

20.
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted

21.
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

22.
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos

23.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

24.
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Edison, Thomas A.

25.
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

26.
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot

27.
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, S°ren

28.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage

29.
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

30.
Ideas are fatal to caste.
Forster, Edward M.

31.
Good ideas and innovations must be driven into existence by courageous patience.
Rickover, Hyman G.

32.
Every new idea is an impossibility until it is born.
Brown, Ron

33.
Ideas are powerful things, requiring not a studious contemplation but an action, even if it is only an inner action. Their acquisition obligates each man in some way to change his life, even if it is only his inner life. They demand to be stood for. They dictate where a man must concentrate his vision. They determine his moral and intellectual priorities. They provide him with allies and make him enemies. In short, ideas impose an interest in their ultimate fate which goes far beyond the realm of the merely reasonable.
Decter, Midge

34.
Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one.
Chartier, Alain

35.
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

36.
Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Whitehead, Alfred North

37.
A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.
Berry, John

38.
The difference between people and ideas is... only superficial.
Rorty, Richard

39.
Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.
Trotsky, Leon

40.
A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

41.
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, S°ren

42.
Ideas are, in truth, force.
James, Henry

43.
I had a monumental idea this morning, but I didn't like it.
Samuel Goldwyn

44.
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Williamson, Marianne

45.
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

46.
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

47.
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.

48.
If you pray for only one thing, .let it be for an idea.
Sutton, Percy

49.
Ideas too are a life and a world.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

50.
An idea is never given to you without you being given the power to make it reality. You must, nevertheless, suffer for it.
Bach, Richard
