Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
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

2.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead

3.
An idea is not responsible for the people who believe in it.
Marquis, Don

4.
It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.
Keynes, John Maynard

5.
Ideas... they have the power
Hill, Napoleon

6.
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.

7.
Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Whitehead, Alfred North

8.
The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.
Lynch, David

9.
Man's fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.
Ernst, Morris L.

10.
Ideas are, in truth, force.
James, Henry

11.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
Picasso, Pablo

12.
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

13.
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry

14.
Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
Eliot, George

15.
Every new idea is an impossibility until it is born.
Brown, Ron

16.
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, SĀ°ren

17.
Ideas too are a life and a world.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

18.
A man is not necessarily intelligent because he has plenty of ideas, any more than he is a good general because he has plenty of soldiers.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

19.
Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down.
Hector Berlioz

20.
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

21.
The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.
P. B. Medawar

22.
The way to combat noxious ideas is with other ideas. The way to combat falsehoods is with truth.
William O. Douglas

23.
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

24.
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot

25.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

26.
Everything begins with an idea.
Nightingale, Earl

27.
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.
Hugo, Victor

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover

31.
It first appeared like a crazy idea. It turned out he had a great idea.
Munro, J. Richard

32.
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

33.
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
Twain, Mark

34.
Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.
Hugo, Victor

35.
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
Bachelard, Gaston

36.
A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.
Maritain, Jacques

37.
All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.
Hill, Napoleon

38.
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

39.
It's a pretty good idea to be of good cheer but not all the time. Just at the most unexpected times.

40.
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
