Motivational Quotes
Ideas
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.

Best Quotes about Ideas
So long as new ideas are created, sales will continue to reach new highs.
Brande, Dorothea
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.
I had a monumental idea this morning, but I didn't like it.
Samuel Goldwyn
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard
An idea is the only level which moves the world.
Corey, Arthur F.
The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
The idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called an idea at all.
Hubbard, Elbert
Good ideas and innovations must be driven into existence by courageous patience.
Rickover, Hyman G.
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
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
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower
Ideas too are a life and a world.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
You have to hatch ideas -- and then hitch them.
Everson, Ray D.
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
What you need is an idea.
Lear, William P.
Ideas are, in truth, force.
James, Henry
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
An idea is not responsible for the people who believe in it.
Marquis, Don
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Edison, Thomas A.
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.
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
Such as take lodgings in a head that's to be let unfurnished.
Butler, Samuel
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
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
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.
An idea discovered is much better possessed.
Young
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
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
Long is the road from conception to completion.
Moliere
Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny.
Carl Schurz
There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea.
Bridgman, P. W.
An idea is a putting truth in check-mate.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.
Frost, Robert
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.
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover
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
You look at any giant corporation, and I mean the biggies, and they all started with a guy with an idea, doing it well.
Robbins, Irvine
It's a pretty good idea to be of good cheer but not all the time. Just at the most unexpected times.
If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he would make a fortune.
Niblack, Griff
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot
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
Every new idea is an impossibility until it is born.
Brown, Ron
There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Emile Chartier
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France
A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous and then dismissed as trivial, until finally, it becomes what everybody knows.
James, William
Ideas are a capital that bears interest only in the hands of talent.
Rivarol, Antoine
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
It first appeared like a crazy idea. It turned out he had a great idea.
Munro, J. Richard
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
