Best Quotes about Ideas
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
He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Pound, Ezra
It's a pretty good idea to be of good cheer but not all the time. Just at the most unexpected times.
Lots of people know a good thing the minute the other fellow sees it first.
Hodges, Job E.
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
Long is the road from conception to completion.
Moliere
Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people.
Gibson, Tobias S.
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.
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
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.
It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.
Keynes, John Maynard
The difference between people and ideas is... only superficial.
Rorty, Richard
There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Emile Chartier
The idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called an idea at all.
Hubbard, Elbert
A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous and then dismissed as trivial, until finally, it becomes what everybody knows.
James, William
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck
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
So long as new ideas are created, sales will continue to reach new highs.
Brande, Dorothea
Ideas are fatal to caste.
Forster, Edward M.
In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations. Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.
Montapert, Alfred A.
The best ideas are common property.
Seneca
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
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France
The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don't like their rules, whose would you use?
Carnegie, Dale
Getting an idea should be like sitting down on a pin. It should make you jump up and do something.
Simpson, E. L.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage
The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.
Penny, A. Owen
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
A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.
Proust, Marcel
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
Ideas are, in truth, force.
James, Henry
Many ideas are good for a limited time -- not forever.
Townsend, Robert
The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.
Avery, Milton
Man's fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.
Ernst, Morris L.
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Williamson, Marianne
It is the nature of thought to find its way into action.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Edison, Thomas A.
When patterns are broken, new worlds can emerge.
Kupferberg, Tuli
If you pray for only one thing, .let it be for an idea.
Sutton, Percy
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
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
A great idea is usually original to more than one discoverer. Great ideas come when the world needs them. Great ideas surround the world's ignorance and press for admission.
Phelps, Elizabeth Stuart
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
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
Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.
Trotsky, Leon
This is my answer to the gap between ideas and action - I will write it out.
Hortense Calisher
