Quotes:

To swear off making mistakes is very easy. All you have to do is swear off having ideas.
View quotes by Leo Burnett

British fashion is self confident and fearless. It refuses to bow to commerce, thus generating a constant flow of new ideas whilst drawing in British heritage.
View quotes by Alexander McQueen

That's double-edged: it's amazing that they're bringing me in and showing people new ideas, and at the same time it's a little hard because seventy percent of the time or even higher I'm not going to get those roles.
View quotes by Rachel True

There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That's perfectly all right; they're the aperture to finding out what's right. Science is a self-correcting process. To be accepted, new ideas must survive the most rigorous standards of evidence and scrutiny.
View quotes by Carl Sagan

In terms of introducing his new ideas, new agenda - same direction but new policies perhaps in pursuit of that, certainly new people - a fresh start bringing in younger people in many cases. [on gordon brown]
View quotes by John Reid

Good ideas are the backbone of good government.
View quotes by Brian Schweitzer

I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
View quotes by John Cage

To the indefinite, uncertain mind of the American radical the most contradictory ideas and methods are possible. The result is a sad chaos in the radical movement, a sort of intellectual hash, which has neither taste nor character.
View quotes by Emma Goldman

I think that it's always possible to have a great company if you have great ideas. I will say that since the web has become more commercialized, it also takes some good financial resources to build a great business, but as I always say, you have to have the idea first.
View quotes by Jerry Yang

Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch-phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas.
View quotes by John Dewey

I don't think we've been influenced massively by our success and by our travels. The lyrics [singer Chris Martin] writes are more basic than that, more basic, emotional ideas rather than life experiences. There's probably a few lines in there which reflect what's happened in the last year or so, but it's hard to say
View quotes by Guy Berryman

Compare the verve and richness of Hong Kong with another largely Chinese community, Singapore, where the press is suppressed, opposition politicians harassed or driven into exile, where ideas don't flow, where theatre groups are closed down for satirising the authorities.
View quotes by Derek Davies

It's 14 years since I left the club and that first-half performance was the worst I've seen since. It was devoid of quality, devoid of ideas, and worst of all, devoid of fight.
View quotes by Alan Hansen

One should be willing to throw away a dozen ideas to come up with a good one, just as one should throw away a dozen words to come up with the right one. [did it take a dozen times to compose that thought?]
View quotes by James Gunn

I am never one to disappoint. When I decided to invest I decided to bring the club forward. I am ready bring new ideas, vision and investment to the club.
View quotes by Thaksin Shinawatra

One of the problems now, I have to say more on the Blair side than on the Brown side, is that many of the Blair supporters couldn't care a damn about the Labour Party. They care about their own faction, their own ideas, their own leader and that is corrosive for the Party's interests.
View quotes by Roy Hattersley

It is a strange fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive, just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive.
View quotes by Thomas Mann

Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.
View quotes by Fran Lebowitz

The smooth transition to Gordon Brown, the energising, refreshing transition to Gordon Brown - not to anyone else - is a transition that is about ideas and values more than about dates.
View quotes by David Miliband

Words are often seen hunting for an idea, but ideas are never seen hunting for words.
View quotes by Josh Billings
