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

Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Pauling, Linus

2.
Very simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds
Gourmont, Remy De

3.
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted

4.
It first appeared like a crazy idea. It turned out he had a great idea.
Munro, J. Richard

5.
Good ideas are a dime a dozen, bad ones are free.
Horton, Doug

6.
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

7.
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard

8.
What you need is an idea.
Lear, William P.

9.
Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.
Penny, A. Owen

10.
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

11.
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George

12.
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

13.
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

14.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage

15.
Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people.
Gibson, Tobias S.

16.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

17.
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.
Hugo, Victor

18.
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

19.
Take the obvious, add a cupful of brains, a generous pinch of imagination, a bucketful of courage and daring, stir well and bring to a boil.
Baruch, Bernard M.

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

22.
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos

23.
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

24.
He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Disraeli, Benjamin

25.
Many ideas are good for a limited time -- not forever.
Townsend, Robert

26.
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.

27.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead

28.
The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.
Lynch, David

29.
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
Bachelard, Gaston

30.
Good ideas and innovations must be driven into existence by courageous patience.
Rickover, Hyman G.

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Whitehead, Alfred North

34.
Ideas... they have the power
Hill, Napoleon

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

37.
An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.
Frost, Robert

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

Rohn, Jim

43.
A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.
Maritain, Jacques

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

45.
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

46.
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Pound, Ezra

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

48.
Never hesitate to steal a good idea.
Neuharth, Al
