Best Quotes about Ideas

1.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Rohn, Jim

2.
An idea is worth nothing if it has no champion.

3.
Many ideas are good for a limited time -- not forever.
Townsend, Robert

4.
It's easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out-of-date.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

5.
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.

6.
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

7.
Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people.
Gibson, Tobias S.

8.
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Williamson, Marianne

9.
Some people entertain ideas; others put them to work.

10.
Lots of people know a good thing the minute the other fellow sees it first.
Hodges, Job E.

11.
I'm not impressed with the power of a corporate president. I am impressed with the power of ideas.
Mason, Ken

12.
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

13.
An idea discovered is much better possessed.
Young

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Ideas are fatal to caste.
Forster, Edward M.

17.
What you need is an idea.
Lear, William P.

18.
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

19.
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

20.
There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Emile Chartier

21.
Great ideas originate in the muscles.
Edison, Thomas A.

22.
Mere words are cheap and plenty enough, but ideas that rouse and set multitudes thinking come as gold for the mines.
Penny, A. Owen

23.
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
Nelson, George

24.
When patterns are broken, new worlds can emerge.
Kupferberg, Tuli

25.
Ideas are the roots of creation.
Dimnet, Ernest

26.
Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.
Harris, Sidney J.

27.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
Picasso, Pablo

28.
All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.
Hill, Napoleon

29.
We like to test things... no matter how good an idea sounds, test it first.
Block, Henry

30.
It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
John Cage

32.
He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Disraeli, Benjamin

33.
Brain cells create ideas. Stress kills brain cells. Stress is not a good idea.
Saunders, Richard

34.
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

35.
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

36.
So many new ideas are at first strange and horrible, though ultimately valuable that a very heavy responsibility rests upon those who would prevent their dissemination.
J. B. S. Haldane

37.
Ideas control the world.
Garfield, James A.

38.
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Edison, Thomas A.

39.
A new idea is like a child. It's easier to conceive than to deliver.
Koysis, Ted

40.
Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.
Hugo, Victor

41.
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

42.
To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.
Rostand, Jean

43.
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
Anatole France

44.
Ideas are, in truth, force.
James, Henry

45.
There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea.
Bridgman, P. W.

46.
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

47.
If you pray for only one thing, .let it be for an idea.
Sutton, Percy

48.
Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
Eliot, George

49.
The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good.

50.
An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.
Frost, Robert
