Ideas

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

- Hill, Napoleon

Best Quotes about Ideas

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

It's easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out-of-date.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

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.

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

Harris, Sidney J.

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

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

When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.

Williamson, Marianne

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

An idea is worth nothing if it has no champion.

10.

Everything begins with an idea.

Nightingale, Earl

11.

Ideas are a capital that bears interest only in the hands of talent.

Rivarol, Antoine

12.

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

13.

Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.

Penny, A. Owen

14.

Many ideas are good for a limited time -- not forever.

Townsend, Robert

15.

The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.

Lynch, David

16.

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

17.

I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down. I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught.

Georgia O'Keeffe

18.

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.

19.

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

20.

The difference between people and ideas is... only superficial.

Rorty, Richard

21.

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

Picasso, Pablo

22.

Good ideas and innovations must be driven into existence by courageous patience.

Rickover, Hyman G.

23.

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

24.

Not just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wander whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid.

Kierkegaard, S°ren

25.

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

Jim Hightower

26.

The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.

Nelson, George

27.

When patterns are broken, new worlds can emerge.

Kupferberg, Tuli

28.

They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities.

Einstein, Albert

29.

I had a monumental idea this morning, but I didn't like it.

Samuel Goldwyn

30.

Very simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds

Gourmont, Remy De

31.

Ideas move fast when their time comes.

Heilbrun, Carolyn

32.

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

Hill, Napoleon

33.

No one has ever had an idea in a dress suit.

Sir Frederick G. Banting

34.

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

Walter Bagehot

35.

A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions.

Holmes, Oliver Wendell

36.

I'm not impressed with the power of a corporate president. I am impressed with the power of ideas.

Mason, Ken

37.

Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down.

Hector Berlioz

38.

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

Chartier, Alain

39.

Long is the road from conception to completion.

Moliere

40.

An idea is a putting truth in check-mate.

Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

41.

Great ideas originate in the muscles.

Edison, Thomas A.

42.

Ideas too are a life and a world.

Lichtenberg, Georg C.

43.

Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

Howard Aiken

44.

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

Koysis, Ted

45.

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

Emile Chartier

46.

Ideas are fatal to caste.

Forster, Edward M.

47.

The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.

Avery, Milton

48.

The idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called an idea at all.

Hubbard, Elbert

49.

The way to combat noxious ideas is with other ideas. The way to combat falsehoods is with truth.

William O. Douglas

50.

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

Block, Henry
