Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Pound, Ezra

2.
You have to hatch ideas -- and then hitch them.
Everson, Ray D.

3.
Ideas won't work unless you do.

4.
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

5.
The most important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them.
Bragg, Sir William

Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

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

8.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

9.
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

10.
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

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

Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.

13.
We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.
Caird, Mona

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

15.
The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

16.
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

17.
If you pray for only one thing, .let it be for an idea.
Sutton, Percy

18.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
Picasso, Pablo

19.
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.

20.
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

21.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead

22.
A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous and then dismissed as trivial, until finally, it becomes what everybody knows.
James, William

23.
It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
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

25.
Such as take lodgings in a head that's to be let unfurnished.
Butler, Samuel

26.
Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
Howard Aiken

27.
The best ideas are common property.
Seneca

28.
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

29.
It is the nature of thought to find its way into action.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

30.
The way to combat noxious ideas is with other ideas. The way to combat falsehoods is with truth.
William O. Douglas

31.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage

32.
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
Bachelard, Gaston

33.
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George

Robbins, Irvine

38.
If you want to get across an idea, wrap it up in a person.
Bunche, Ralph

39.
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

40.
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Williamson, Marianne

41.
