Motivational Quotes
Ideas
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.
Best Quotes about Ideas
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower
Great ideas originate in the muscles.
Edison, Thomas A.
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
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
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard
It first appeared like a crazy idea. It turned out he had a great idea.
Munro, J. Richard
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
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
Ideas won't work unless you do.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George
The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good.
Many ideas are good for a limited time -- not forever.
Townsend, Robert
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
Man's fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.
Ernst, Morris L.
If you pray for only one thing, .let it be for an idea.
Sutton, Percy
Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.
Harris, Sidney J.
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
An idea is worth nothing if it has no champion.
The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.
Lynch, David
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.
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
Ideas move fast when their time comes.
Heilbrun, Carolyn
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
What you need is an idea.
Lear, William P.
Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.
Trotsky, Leon
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Pauling, Linus
Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Whitehead, Alfred North
Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
Howard Aiken
The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
An idea discovered is much better possessed.
Young
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one.
Chartier, Alain
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos
Ideas are the roots of creation.
Dimnet, Ernest
I'm not impressed with the power of a corporate president. I am impressed with the power of ideas.
Mason, Ken
You have to hatch ideas -- and then hitch them.
Everson, Ray D.
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
An idea is the only level which moves the world.
Corey, Arthur F.
In every great time there is some one idea at work which is more powerful than any other, and which shapes the events of the time and determines their ultimate issues.
Bacon, Francis
A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous and then dismissed as trivial, until finally, it becomes what everybody knows.
James, William
All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.
Hill, Napoleon
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Ideas too are a life and a world.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
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
If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it.
Kettering, Charles F.
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck
