All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come
A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds
It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago
In the realm of ideas everything depends on enthusiasm... in the real world all rests on perseverance
For just when ideas fail, a word comes in to save the situation
Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game
An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all
He who receives an idea from me receives instruction for himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine receives light without darkening me.
