Best Quotes about Imagination
Sentiment is the ripened fruit of fantasy.
Belazy, Madame
When the imagination and will power are in conflict, are antagonistic, it is always the imagination which wins, without any exception.
Coue, Emile
We are told never to cross a bridge till we come to it, but this world is owned by men who have crossed bridges in their imagination far ahead of the crowd.
Library, Speakers
If you want a quality, act as if you already had it. Try the as if technique.
James, William
My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.
Guin, Ursula K. Le
Imagination... its limits are only those of the mind itself.
Serling, Rod
Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.
Bunuel, Luis
By going over your day in imagination before you begin it, you can begin acting successfully at any moment.
Brande, Dorothea
We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better.
J.K. Rowling
In that way imagination and intelligence enter into our existence in the part of servants of the primary instincts.
Einstein, Albert
You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.
Mark Twain
Imagination decides everything.
Pascal, Blaise
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.
George Bernard Shaw
The opportunities of man are limited only by his imagination. But so few have imagination that there are ten thousand fiddlers to one composer.
Kettering, Charles F.
Perhaps in a book review it is not out of place to note that the safety of the state depends on cultivating the imagination.
Vizinczey, Stephen
Pictures help you to form the mental mold...
Collier, Robert
See the things you want as already yours. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession.
Collier, Robert
Live out of your imagination, not your history.
Covey, Stephen R.
The Chinese pianist Liu Chi Kung was imprisoned for seven years during the Cultural Revolution, during which time he had no access to a piano. When he returned to giving concerts again after he was released, his playing was better than ever. Asked how this was possible since he had not practice for seven years, he replied: I did practice, every day. I rehearsed every piece I had ever played, note by note, in my mind.
Zilbergeld, Bernie
The way we imagine ourselves to appear to another person is an essential element in our conception of ourselves. In other words, I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am.
Bierstedt, Robert
Memory feeds imagination.
Amy Tan
A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.
Newton, Sir Isaac
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
Thoreau, Henry David
Not our logical faculty, but our imaginative one is king over us. I might say, priest and prophet to lead us to heaven-ward, or magician and wizard to lead us hellward.
Carlyle, Thomas
When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative success mechanism within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by conscious effort or willpower.
Maltz, Maxwell
Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which is everything in this world.
Pascal, Blaise
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
Beecher, Henry Ward
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.
Carson, Rachel
The great successful men of the world have used their imaginations... they think ahead and create their mental picture, and the go to work materializing that picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building -- steadily building.
Collier, Robert
Nevertheless, the consuming hunger of the uncritical mind for what it imagines to be certainty or finality impels it to feast upon shadows in the prevailing famine of substance.
Bell, E. T.
Imagination is a poor matter when it has to part company with understanding.
Carlyle, Thomas
The imaginations which people have of one another are the solid facts of society.
Cooley, Charles Horton
First have being in your mind. Make real in your mind then bring that being into reality. The genius is he who sees what is not yet and causes it to come to be.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio
Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in my shop. The inventions I have conceived in this way have always worked. In thirty years there has not been a single exception. My first electric motor, the vacuum wireless light, my turbine engine and many other devices have all been developed in exactly this way.
Tesla, Nikola
People often get their imagination's mixed up with their memories.
Shaw, P.K.
To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?
Blake, William
When you think something, you think in picture. You don't think a thought in words. You think a picture that expresses your thought. Working with this picture will produce it into your experience.
Speare, Grace
Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind's eye and you will be drawn toward it. Picture yourself vividly as winning and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success. Great living starts with a picture, held in your imagination, of what you would like to do or be.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
The human imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.
Berger, John
All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination, Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.
Hill, Napoleon
There is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen.
Sean O'Faolain
Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything.
Miller, Henry
People can die of mere imagination.
Chaucer, Geoffrey
By visualizing your goals, you can get your subconscious to work toward making these mental pictures come true.
Success Magazine
Thus man of all creatures is more than a creature, he is also a creator. Man alone can direct his success mechanism by the use of imagination, or imaging ability.
Maltz, Maxwell
The imagination is never governed, it is always the ruling and divine power.
Ruskin, John
We live by our imagination, our admiration s, and our sentiments.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
An unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind.
Ruskin, John
How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination! In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours; not a single creature resists us, we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects which, in turn, we immolate. The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, we multiply the horror a hundredfold.
Sade, Marquis De
Choosing to live in narrow spaces leads to form of mental agoraphobia and that brings its own terrors. I think the willfully unimaginative see more monsters, they are often more afraid. What is more, those who choose not to empathize enable real monsters. For without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude through our own apathy.
J.K. Rowling
