Best Quotes about Ideas
Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.
Penny, A. Owen
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean
It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
This is my answer to the gap between ideas and action - I will write it out.
Hortense Calisher
If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it.
Kettering, Charles F.
Man's mind, stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
An idea is the only level which moves the world.
Corey, Arthur F.
Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
Howard Aiken
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
Bachelard, Gaston
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
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
Getting an idea should be like sitting down on a pin. It should make you jump up and do something.
Simpson, E. L.
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George
Many ideas are good for a limited time -- not forever.
Townsend, Robert
The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.
P. B. Medawar
An idea discovered is much better possessed.
Young
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
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
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
Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied.
Glasgow, Arnold H.
No one has ever had an idea in a dress suit.
Sir Frederick G. Banting
Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one.
Chartier, Alain
Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France
If you are possessed by an idea, you find it expressed everywhere, you even smell it.
Mann, Thomas
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.
Long is the road from conception to completion.
Moliere
There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Emile Chartier
All opening moves were the same, like in chess. You don't have to come up with anything new, there's no point, because you're both after the same thing anyway. The game soon finds its own way and it's only at that point that you need a strategy.
Paolo Giordano
Very simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds
Gourmont, Remy De
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
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
Twain, Mark
He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Disraeli, Benjamin
They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities.
Einstein, Albert
The difference between people and ideas is... only superficial.
Rorty, Richard
We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.
Caird, Mona
Great ideas originate in the muscles.
Edison, Thomas A.
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover
Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the phrases: (1) It's completely impossible. (2) It's possible, but it's not worth doing. (3) I said it was a good idea all along.
Clarke, Arthur C.
Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!
Brown, Les
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
Picasso, Pablo
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos
Ideas are the roots of creation.
Dimnet, Ernest
The point, simply, is that we are doing more rediscovering these days than discovering coming anew upon truths that ignorant people refused to examine, over the centuries, because the wise people who held custody of the fundamental truths of nature were unpopular.
Williamson, John
An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.
Frost, Robert
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
