Respect for intellectual excellence, the restoration of vigor and discipline to our ideas of study, curricula which aim at strengthening intellectual fiber and stretching the power of young minds, personal commitment and responsibility - these are the preconditions of educational recovery in America today; and, I believe, they have always been the preconditions of happiness and sanity for the human race. Adlai E. Stevenson quotes Serious-minded people have few ideas. People with ideas are never serious. Paul Valery quotes Great ideas originate in the muscles. Thomas Alva Edison quotes Keep on the lookout for novel ideas that others have used successfully. Your idea has to be original only in its adaptation to the problem you're working on. Thomas Alva Edison quotes If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied. Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes Almost all really new ideas have a certain aspect of foolishness when they are first produced. Alfred North Whitehead quotes The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones. John Maynard Keynes quotes Ideas are the raw material of progress. Everything first takes shape in the form of an idea. But an idea by itself is worth nothing. An idea, like a machine, must have power applied to it before it can accomplish anything. B. C. Forbes quotes We were young, but we had good advice and good ideas and lots of enthusiasm. Bill Gates quotes Ideas shape the course of history. John Maynard Keynes quotes |
