A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind.

Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
The ideas of a time are like the clothes of a season: they are as arbitrary, as much imposed by some superior will which is seldom explicit. They are utilitarian and political, the instruments of smooth-running government.
Lewis, Wyndham

2.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

3.
It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.
Keynes, John Maynard

4.
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

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

6.
There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

7.
An idea is worth nothing if it has no champion.

8.
A handsome parson is fit for nothing but ti put ideas into the young woman's heads.
Judith Brocklehurst

9.
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted

10.
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
Bachelard, Gaston

11.
All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.
Hill, Napoleon

12.
It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

13.
Not the one who has many ideas, but the one who has a single conviction may become a great person.
Cotvos

14.
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard

15.
Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one.
Chartier, Alain

16.
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry

17.
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.

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Many ideas are good for a limited time -- not forever.
Townsend, Robert

22.
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

23.
Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!
Brown, Les

24.
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

25.
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

26.
The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.
Lynch, David

27.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

28.
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

29.
Great ideas originate in the muscles.
Edison, Thomas A.

30.
You look at any giant corporation, and I mean the biggies, and they all started with a guy with an idea, doing it well.
Robbins, Irvine

31.
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

32.
It's a pretty good idea to be of good cheer but not all the time. Just at the most unexpected times.

33.
Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people.
Gibson, Tobias S.

34.
When patterns are broken, new worlds can emerge.
Kupferberg, Tuli

35.
Concepts, like individuals, have their histories and are just as incapable of withstanding the ravages of time as are individuals. But in and through all this they retain a kind of homesickness for the scenes of their childhood.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

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

38.
Ideas too are a life and a world.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

39.
A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.
Proust, Marcel

40.
Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
Eliot, George

41.
Man's fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.
Ernst, Morris L.

42.
Everything begins with an idea.
Nightingale, Earl

43.
Ideas move fast when their time comes.
Heilbrun, Carolyn

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.
Jim Hightower

47.
So long as new ideas are created, sales will continue to reach new highs.
Brande, Dorothea

48.
Labor gives birth to ideas.
Rohn, Jim

49.
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

50.
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
Hyman Rickover
