Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Emile Chartier

2.
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck

3.
Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.
Hugo, Victor

4.
You have to hatch ideas -- and then hitch them.
Everson, Ray D.

5.
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo

6.
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

7.
Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
Cameron, Julie

8.
It first appeared like a crazy idea. It turned out he had a great idea.
Munro, J. Richard

9.
Ideas are the roots of creation.
Dimnet, Ernest

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Every new idea is an impossibility until it is born.
Brown, Ron

13.
Ideas too are a life and a world.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

14.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
Picasso, Pablo

15.
Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Whitehead, Alfred North

16.
Ideas are, in truth, force.
James, Henry

17.
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

18.
It's a pretty good idea to be of good cheer but not all the time. Just at the most unexpected times.

19.
The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

20.
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

21.
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

22.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
Eliot, George

26.
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
Bachelard, Gaston

27.
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

28.
Ideas are a capital that bears interest only in the hands of talent.
Rivarol, Antoine

29.
Man's mind, stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

30.
We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.
Caird, Mona

31.
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Pound, Ezra

32.
Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people.
Gibson, Tobias S.

33.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

34.
It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it; often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.
Gide, Andre

35.
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

36.
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

37.
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover

38.
A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.
Berry, John

39.
This is my answer to the gap between ideas and action - I will write it out.
Hortense Calisher

40.
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

41.
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.

42.
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Edison, Thomas A.

43.
A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous and then dismissed as trivial, until finally, it becomes what everybody knows.
James, William

44.
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry

45.
No one has ever had an idea in a dress suit.
Sir Frederick G. Banting

46.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

47.
All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.
Hill, Napoleon

48.
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.

49.
A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

50.
Good ideas are a dime a dozen, bad ones are free.
Horton, Doug
