Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
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

2.
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Pound, Ezra

3.
All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.
Hill, Napoleon

4.
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.

5.
An idea is worth nothing if it has no champion.

6.
This is my answer to the gap between ideas and action - I will write it out.
Hortense Calisher

7.
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

8.
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

9.
An idea is a putting truth in check-mate.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Everything begins with an idea.
Nightingale, Earl

13.
Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
Cameron, Julie

14.
The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

15.
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
Walter Bagehot

16.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead

17.
The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.
P. B. Medawar

18.
Very simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds
Gourmont, Remy De

19.
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck

20.
Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.
Harris, Sidney J.

21.
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Edison, Thomas A.

22.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

23.
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.

24.
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

25.
Never hesitate to steal a good idea.
Neuharth, Al

26.
The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good.

27.
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

28.
There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Emile Chartier

29.
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

30.
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

31.
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

32.
If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he would make a fortune.
Niblack, Griff

33.
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
Bachelard, Gaston

34.
A handsome parson is fit for nothing but ti put ideas into the young woman's heads.
Judith Brocklehurst

35.
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower

36.
Ideas too are a life and a world.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

37.
Ideas won't work unless you do.

38.
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry

39.
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

40.
There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea.
Bridgman, P. W.

41.
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

42.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

43.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
Picasso, Pablo

44.
When patterns are broken, new worlds can emerge.
Kupferberg, Tuli

45.
Man's mind, stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

46.
Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Whitehead, Alfred North

47.
If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it.
Kettering, Charles F.

48.
Ideas are, in truth, force.
James, Henry

49.
We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.
Caird, Mona

50.
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
