Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
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

2.
Man's fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.
Ernst, Morris L.

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

6.
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

7.
No one has ever had an idea in a dress suit.
Sir Frederick G. Banting

8.
What you need is an idea.
Lear, William P.

9.
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Pound, Ezra

10.
A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.
Berry, John

11.
It's easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out-of-date.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

12.
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

13.
Such as take lodgings in a head that's to be let unfurnished.
Butler, Samuel

14.
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

15.
It's a pretty good idea to be of good cheer but not all the time. Just at the most unexpected times.

16.
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

17.
It doesn't matter how new an idea is: what matters is how new it becomes.
Canetti, Elias

18.
Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one.
Chartier, Alain

19.
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.

20.
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot

21.
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

22.
We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.
Caird, Mona

23.
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.

24.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead

25.
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

26.
Everything begins with an idea.
Nightingale, Earl

27.
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

28.
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.

29.
Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people.
Gibson, Tobias S.

30.
The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.
Avery, Milton

31.
An idea is never given to you without you being given the power to make it reality. You must, nevertheless, suffer for it.
Bach, Richard

32.
The idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called an idea at all.
Hubbard, Elbert

33.
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Pauling, Linus

34.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage

35.
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos

36.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

37.
You have to hatch ideas -- and then hitch them.
Everson, Ray D.

38.
He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Disraeli, Benjamin

39.
A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

40.
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck

41.
Ideas too are a life and a world.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

42.
An idea is a putting truth in check-mate.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

43.
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted

44.
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

45.
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.

46.
Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.
Trotsky, Leon

47.
A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.
Proust, Marcel

48.
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry

49.
We are not to make the ideas of contentment and aspiration quarrel, for God made them fast friends. A man may aspire, and yet be quite content until it is time to raise; and both flying and resting are but parts of one contentment. The very fruit of the gospel is aspiration. It is to the heart what spring is to the earth, making every root, and bud, and bough desire to be more. -
Beecher, Henry Ward

50.
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
Twain, Mark
