Motivational Quotes
Ideas
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.
Best Quotes about Ideas
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Pauling, Linus
Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
Howard Aiken
An idea is worth nothing if it has no champion.
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard
Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
Cameron, Julie
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower
It's a pretty good idea to be of good cheer but not all the time. Just at the most unexpected times.
Ideas are the roots of creation.
Dimnet, Ernest
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
The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.
Maritain, Jacques
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
Ideas move fast when their time comes.
Heilbrun, Carolyn
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France
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
It is the nature of thought to find its way into action.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
Getting an idea should be like sitting down on a pin. It should make you jump up and do something.
Simpson, E. L.
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
Bachelard, Gaston
Ideas are fatal to caste.
Forster, Edward M.
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George
Ideas control the world.
Garfield, James A.
An idea is a putting truth in check-mate.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover
Lots of people know a good thing the minute the other fellow sees it first.
Hodges, Job E.
A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.
Proust, Marcel
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
I'm not impressed with the power of a corporate president. I am impressed with the power of ideas.
Mason, Ken
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.
An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.
Frost, Robert
They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities.
Einstein, Albert
It doesn't matter how new an idea is: what matters is how new it becomes.
Canetti, Elias
Many ideas are good for a limited time -- not forever.
Townsend, Robert
An idea discovered is much better possessed.
Young
Ideas won't work unless you do.
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
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
Go out and buy yourself a five-cent pencil and a ten-cent notebook and begin to write down some million-dollar ideas for yourself.
Grinde, Bob
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos
But how shall I get ideas? Keep your wits open! Observe! Observe! Study! Study! But above all, Think! Think! And when a noble image is indelibly impressed upon the mind -- Act!
Marden, Orison Swett
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
The difference between people and ideas is... only superficial.
Rorty, Richard
There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea.
Bridgman, P. W.
We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.
Caird, Mona
Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people.
Gibson, Tobias S.
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.
When patterns are broken, new worlds can emerge.
Kupferberg, Tuli
