~ Nearly every man who develops an idea works at it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged. ~

~ No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come. ~

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

~ Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk -- and act. ~

~ Every idea I get I have to deny, that's my way of testing it. ~

~ One's mind once stretched by a new idea, never regains its orginal dimensions. ~

~ Great minds discuss ideas,average minds discuss events,small minds discuss people. ~

~ A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death. ~

~ Don't be afraid to stumble. Any inventor will tell you that you don't follow a plan far before you strike a snag. If, out of 100 ideas you get one that works, it's enough. ~

~ Acting on a good idea is better than just having a good idea. ~

~ All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea. ~

~ If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied. ~

~ Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste! ~

~ If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. ~

~ An idea isn't responsible for the people who believe it. ~
