Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
Twain, Mark

2.
Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
Cameron, Julie

3.
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

4.
Ideas are, in truth, force.
James, Henry

5.
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted

6.
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

7.
Long is the road from conception to completion.
Moliere

8.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

9.
Good ideas and innovations must be driven into existence by courageous patience.
Rickover, Hyman G.

10.
Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
Eliot, George

11.
Man's fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.
Ernst, Morris L.

12.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

13.
Getting an idea should be like sitting down on a pin. It should make you jump up and do something.
Simpson, E. L.

14.
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
John Steinbeck

15.
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
Bachelard, Gaston

16.
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

17.
We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.
Caird, Mona

18.
Ideas are the roots of creation.
Dimnet, Ernest

19.
It first appeared like a crazy idea. It turned out he had a great idea.
Munro, J. Richard

20.
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

21.
Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Whitehead, Alfred North

22.
Little words hurt big ideas.
Newton, Howard W.

23.
Every new idea is an impossibility until it is born.
Brown, Ron

24.
The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good.

25.
Such as take lodgings in a head that's to be let unfurnished.
Butler, Samuel

26.
An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.
Frost, Robert

27.
A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.
Berry, John

28.
I'm not impressed with the power of a corporate president. I am impressed with the power of ideas.
Mason, Ken

29.
Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

30.
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.

31.
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

32.
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.

33.
Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down.
Hector Berlioz

34.
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry

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

36.
The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

37.
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

38.
Great ideas originate in the muscles.
Edison, Thomas A.

39.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them.
Alfred North Whitehead

40.
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard

41.
Very simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds
Gourmont, Remy De

42.
A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous and then dismissed as trivial, until finally, it becomes what everybody knows.
James, William

43.
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

44.
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

45.
If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it.
Kettering, Charles F.

46.
Man's mind, stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.

Hubbard, Elbert

48.
Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

49.
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...

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