Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

2.
The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.
Avery, Milton

3.
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

4.
Such as take lodgings in a head that's to be let unfurnished.
Butler, Samuel

5.
Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people.
Gibson, Tobias S.

6.
Getting an idea should be like sitting down on a pin. It should make you jump up and do something.
Simpson, E. L.

7.
It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

8.
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

9.
Ideas won't work unless you do.

10.
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
Twain, Mark

11.
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

12.
Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.
Harris, Sidney J.

13.
If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he would make a fortune.
Niblack, Griff

14.
A handsome parson is fit for nothing but ti put ideas into the young woman's heads.
Judith Brocklehurst

15.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead

16.
Never hesitate to steal a good idea.
Neuharth, Al

17.
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted

18.
It's very good for an idea to be commonplace. The important thing is that a new idea should develop out of what is already there so that it soon becomes an old acquaintance. Old acquaintances aren't by any means always welcome, but at least one can't be mistaken as to who or what they are.
Fitzgerald, Penelope

19.
Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!
Brown, Les

20.
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Edison, Thomas A.

21.
Every new idea is an impossibility until it is born.
Brown, Ron

22.
Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

23.
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos

24.
A man is not necessarily intelligent because he has plenty of ideas, any more than he is a good general because he has plenty of soldiers.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

25.
It doesn't matter how new an idea is: what matters is how new it becomes.
Canetti, Elias

26.
A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.
Berry, John

27.
Many ideas are good for a limited time -- not forever.
Townsend, Robert

28.
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

29.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage

30.
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower

31.
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

32.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

33.
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

34.
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.

35.
What you need is an idea.
Lear, William P.

36.
Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
Howard Aiken

37.
Ideas are fatal to caste.
Forster, Edward M.

I had a monumental idea this morning, but I didn't like it.
Samuel Goldwyn

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

40.
The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.
Lynch, David

41.
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

42.
Ideas... they have the power
Hill, Napoleon

43.
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

44.
It is the nature of thought to find its way into action.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

45.
Ideas are a capital that bears interest only in the hands of talent.
Rivarol, Antoine

46.
We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.
Caird, Mona

47.
A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous and then dismissed as trivial, until finally, it becomes what everybody knows.
James, William

48.
Our greatest lack is not money for any undertaking, but rather ideas, If the ideas are good, cash will somehow flow to where it is needed.
Schuller, Robert H.

49.
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George
