Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it.
Kettering, Charles F.

2.
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
Twain, Mark

3.
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

4.
Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
Howard Aiken

5.
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard

6.
Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.
Penny, A. Owen

7.
A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

8.
Never hesitate to steal a good idea.
Neuharth, Al

9.
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck

10.
Labor gives birth to ideas.
Rohn, Jim

11.
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.

12.
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.
Lewis, Wyndham

13.
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower

14.
Everything begins with an idea.
Nightingale, Earl

15.
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

16.
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France

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

19.
I'm not impressed with the power of a corporate president. I am impressed with the power of ideas.
Mason, Ken

20.
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

21.
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

22.
The best ideas are common property.
Seneca

23.
If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he would make a fortune.
Niblack, Griff

24.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

25.
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George

26.
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Pound, Ezra

27.
Good ideas are a dime a dozen, bad ones are free.
Horton, Doug

28.
No one has ever had an idea in a dress suit.
Sir Frederick G. Banting

29.
An idea discovered is much better possessed.
Young

30.
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

31.
The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good.

32.
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

33.
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

34.
A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.
Berry, John

35.
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

36.
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.

37.
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

38.
Ideas control the world.
Garfield, James A.

39.
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

40.
What you need is an idea.
Lear, William P.

41.
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted

42.
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

43.
They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities.
Einstein, Albert

44.
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot

45.
Ideas move fast when their time comes.
Heilbrun, Carolyn

46.
A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.
Maritain, Jacques

47.
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

48.
An idea is worth nothing if it has no champion.

49.
It doesn't matter how new an idea is: what matters is how new it becomes.
Canetti, Elias

50.
There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea.
Bridgman, P. W.
