Motivational Quotes
Ideas
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Best Quotes about Ideas
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry
Go out and buy yourself a five-cent pencil and a ten-cent notebook and begin to write down some million-dollar ideas for yourself.
Grinde, Bob
It's a pretty good idea to be of good cheer but not all the time. Just at the most unexpected times.
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
The difference between people and ideas is... only superficial.
Rorty, Richard
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Williamson, Marianne
An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.
Frost, Robert
The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.
P. B. Medawar
Ideas... they have the power
Hill, Napoleon
An idea is not responsible for the people who believe in it.
Marquis, Don
You have to hatch ideas -- and then hitch them.
Everson, Ray D.
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied.
Glasgow, Arnold H.
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
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
If you pray for only one thing, .let it be for an idea.
Sutton, Percy
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.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them. When the idea is new, its custodians have fervor, live for it, and if need be, die for it.
Whitehead, Alfred North
Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Whitehead, Alfred North
He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Good ideas and innovations must be driven into existence by courageous patience.
Rickover, Hyman G.
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
A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.
Berry, John
Ideas move fast when their time comes.
Heilbrun, Carolyn
If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it.
Kettering, Charles F.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Pauling, Linus
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
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
Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
Howard Aiken
What you need is an idea.
Lear, William P.
Never hesitate to steal a good idea.
Neuharth, Al
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
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
A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.
Maritain, Jacques
An idea is a putting truth in check-mate.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good.
Ideas are fatal to caste.
Forster, Edward M.
There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea.
Bridgman, P. W.
It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
So long as new ideas are created, sales will continue to reach new highs.
Brande, Dorothea
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower
The way to combat noxious ideas is with other ideas. The way to combat falsehoods is with truth.
William O. Douglas
Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
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.
J. B. S. Haldane
No one has ever had an idea in a dress suit.
Sir Frederick G. Banting
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
The best ideas are common property.
Seneca
