Motivational Quotes
Ideas
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.
Best Quotes about Ideas
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
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
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
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead
Lots of people know a good thing the minute the other fellow sees it first.
Hodges, Job E.
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
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France
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
It first appeared like a crazy idea. It turned out he had a great idea.
Munro, J. Richard
Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people.
Gibson, Tobias S.
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
Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.
Penny, A. Owen
An idea discovered is much better possessed.
Young
This is my answer to the gap between ideas and action - I will write it out.
Hortense Calisher
Good ideas are a dime a dozen, bad ones are free.
Horton, Doug
It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down.
Hector Berlioz
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.
Whenever I hear people talking about liberal ideas, I am always astounded that men should love to fool themselves with empty sounds. An idea should never be liberal; it must be vigorous, positive, and without loose ends so that it may fulfill its divine mission and be productive. The proper place for liberality is in the realm of the emotions.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Emile Chartier
If you are possessed by an idea, you find it expressed everywhere, you even smell it.
Mann, Thomas
Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.
Trotsky, Leon
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.
Caird, Mona
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.
Labor gives birth to ideas.
Rohn, Jim
If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he would make a fortune.
Niblack, Griff
An idea is not responsible for the people who believe in it.
Marquis, Don
The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.
Avery, Milton
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted
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
Never hesitate to steal a good idea.
Neuharth, Al
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
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard
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
Good ideas and innovations must be driven into existence by courageous patience.
Rickover, Hyman G.
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
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
When patterns are broken, new worlds can emerge.
Kupferberg, Tuli
Such as take lodgings in a head that's to be let unfurnished.
Butler, Samuel
Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
Howard Aiken
No one has ever had an idea in a dress suit.
Sir Frederick G. Banting
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
A handsome parson is fit for nothing but ti put ideas into the young woman's heads.
Judith Brocklehurst
So long as new ideas are created, sales will continue to reach new highs.
Brande, Dorothea
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck
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
