Ideas

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

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

3.
Ideas are fatal to caste.
Forster, Edward M.

4.
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

5.
The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good.

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

Twain, Mark

An idea is worth nothing if it has no champion.

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

Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.
Trotsky, Leon

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

Proust, Marcel

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

18.
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

19.
Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Whitehead, Alfred North

20.
Every new idea is an impossibility until it is born.
Brown, Ron

21.
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Williamson, Marianne

22.
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

23.
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France

24.
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos

25.
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George

26.
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, S°ren

27.
The best ideas are common property.
Seneca

28.
An idea is the only level which moves the world.
Corey, Arthur F.

29.
Ideas won't work unless you do.

30.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

31.
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

32.
Great ideas originate in the muscles.
Edison, Thomas A.

33.
An idea is a putting truth in check-mate.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

34.
Very simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds
Gourmont, Remy De

35.
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Pound, Ezra

36.
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.

37.
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower

38.
An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.
Frost, Robert

39.
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

40.
Long is the road from conception to completion.
Moliere

41.
Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny.
Carl Schurz

42.
Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the phrases: (1) It's completely impossible. (2) It's possible, but it's not worth doing. (3) I said it was a good idea all along.
Clarke, Arthur C.

43.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead

44.
Ideas are a capital that bears interest only in the hands of talent.
Rivarol, Antoine

45.
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck

46.
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

47.
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

48.
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

49.
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

50.
A handsome parson is fit for nothing but ti put ideas into the young woman's heads.
Judith Brocklehurst
