Ideas

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

Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
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

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
If you want to get across an idea, wrap it up in a person.
Bunche, Ralph

6.
Ideas move fast when their time comes.
Heilbrun, Carolyn

7.
Man's fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.
Ernst, Morris L.

8.
So many new ideas are at first strange and horrible, though ultimately valuable that a very heavy responsibility rests upon those who would prevent their dissemination.
J. B. S. Haldane

9.
The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.
Lynch, David

10.
Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.
Penny, A. Owen

11.
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
Twain, Mark

12.
Ideas are invented only as correctives to the past. Through repeated rectification of this kind one may hope to disengage an idea that is valid.
Bachelard, Gaston

13.
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted

14.
Everything begins with an idea.
Nightingale, Earl

15.
Good ideas and innovations must be driven into existence by courageous patience.
Rickover, Hyman G.

16.
They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities.
Einstein, Albert

17.
Ideas control the world.
Garfield, James A.

18.
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot

19.
Ideas are, in truth, force.
James, Henry

20.
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

21.
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, SĀ°ren

22.
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

23.
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

24.
A handsome parson is fit for nothing but ti put ideas into the young woman's heads.
Judith Brocklehurst

25.
Lots of people know a good thing the minute the other fellow sees it first.
Hodges, Job E.

26.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

27.
He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Disraeli, Benjamin

28.
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.

29.
An idea is the only level which moves the world.
Corey, Arthur F.

30.
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

31.
Ideas... they have the power
Hill, Napoleon

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Never hesitate to steal a good idea.
Neuharth, Al

35.
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

36.
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.

37.
There is no prosperity, trade, art, city, or great material wealth of any kind, but if you trace it home, you will find it rooted in a thought of some individual man. --
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

38.
It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
The best ideas are common property.
Seneca

40.
Ideas won't work unless you do.

41.
It first appeared like a crazy idea. It turned out he had a great idea.
Munro, J. Richard

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

43.
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Edison, Thomas A.

44.
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

45.
It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it; often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.
Gide, Andre

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