Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.
Penny, A. Owen

2.
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
Cameron, Julie

6.
A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

7.
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.

8.
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

9.
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Edison, Thomas A.

10.
Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

11.
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

12.
Getting an idea should be like sitting down on a pin. It should make you jump up and do something.
Simpson, E. L.

13.
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

14.
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

15.
So long as new ideas are created, sales will continue to reach new highs.
Brande, Dorothea

16.
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Williamson, Marianne

17.
The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.
Avery, Milton

18.
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

19.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

20.
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower

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

22.
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

23.
Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down.
Hector Berlioz

24.
The way to combat noxious ideas is with other ideas. The way to combat falsehoods is with truth.
William O. Douglas

25.
If you are possessed by an idea, you find it expressed everywhere, you even smell it.
Mann, Thomas

26.
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

27.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

28.
There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea.
Bridgman, P. W.

29.
If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it.
Kettering, Charles F.

30.
If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he would make a fortune.
Niblack, Griff

31.
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

32.
Very simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds
Gourmont, Remy De

33.
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

34.
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck

35.
An idea is a putting truth in check-mate.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

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

37.
Great ideas originate in the muscles.
Edison, Thomas A.

38.
It's a pretty good idea to be of good cheer but not all the time. Just at the most unexpected times.

39.
An idea is not responsible for the people who believe in it.
Marquis, Don

40.
Man's mind, stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

41.
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos

42.
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.

43.
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George

44.
If you want to get across an idea, wrap it up in a person.
Bunche, Ralph

45.
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo

46.
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.

47.
The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

48.
Ideas won't work unless you do.

49.
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

50.
It first appeared like a crazy idea. It turned out he had a great idea.
Munro, J. Richard
