30.
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

Think for thyself one good idea, but known to be thine own, is better than a thousand gleaned from fields by others sown.

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

36.
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower

37.
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard

38.
Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.
Harris, Sidney J.

39.
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.

40.
It's easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out-of-date.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

41.
Everything begins with an idea.
Nightingale, Earl

42.
It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

43.
The best ideas are common property.
