IDEAS

One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.

Walter Bagehot

Neither man nor nation can exist without a sublime idea.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Only those who build on ideas build for eternity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Whoso shrinks from ideas ends by having nothing but sensations.

Goethe

Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.

Goethe

There is one thing stronger than all the armies of the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

Great ideas need landing gear as well as wings.

C.D. Jackson

You do not destroy an idea by killing people; you replace it with a better one.

Edward Keating

A man with a new idea is a crank, until the idea succeeds.

Mark Twain
