'Learn as if you were going
to live forever. Live as if you were going to
die tomorrow.' 'The illiterate of the 21st
century will not be those who cannot read and
write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and
relearn'. 'The human brain starts working the
moment you are born and never stops until you
stand up to speak in public'. 'Many of life's failures are people who did
not realize how close they were to success when they
gave up'. 'I feel that the most important requirement
in success is learning to overcome failure. You must
learn to tolerate it, but never accept it'.
"Thinking is more interesting than knowing,
but less interesting than looking. " "The only true wisdom is in knowing you
know nothing" "The significant problems we face cannot
be solved at the same level of thinking we were
at when we created them." "One of the greatest joys known to man is
to take a flight into ignorance in search of
knowledge." "You are not thinking. You are merely being
logical." - Heraclitus c.500 BC "Creative Thinking may mean simply the
relisation that there is no particular virtue in
doing things the way they have always been done." "Perception is real - even when it is not
reality" "The greatest achievements and virtuoso
performances of our lives are romanced not
beaten out of us" "All our knowledge has its origins in our
perceptions" "Many ideas grow better when transplanted
into another mind than in the one where they sprang
up" "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to
the body" "The mind, ever the willing servant, will
respond to boldness, for boldness, in effect, is
a command to deliver mental resources." "Any thought that is passed on to the
subconscious often enough and convincingly
enough is finally accepted." "We are what we repeatedly do." "The final obstacle is the belief that
there is an obstacle." "Nurture your mind with great thoughts." "Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect
practice makes perfect." "We shall not cease from exploration, and
the end of all our exploring will be to arrive
where we started and know the place for the
first time." "Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of
the lifelong attempt to acquire it." "Nothing will ever be attempted if all
possible objections must be first overcome." "Questions are the creative acts of
intelligence." "Every creative act involves...a new
innocence of perception, liberated from the
cataract of accepted belief." "The idea is there locked inside. All you
have to do is remove the excess stone." "Knowledge increases in proportion to its use
- that is, the more we teach the more we learn." "Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the
response to error that counts" "If you think you can, you can. And if
you think you can't you're right" "The mind is like a clock that is
constantly running down and must be wound up
daily with good thoughts" "Many eyes go through the meadow, but few
see the flowers in it" "In times of change, learners inherit the
earth, while the learned find themselves
beautifully equipped to deal with a world that
no longer exists" "The future is simply infinite
possibility waiting to happen. What it waits on
is human imagination to crystallise its
possibility" "Imagination is more important than
knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we
currently know and understand, imagination
points to all we might yet discover and create" "The major challenge for leaders in the
twenty-first century will be how to release the
brain power of their organisations" "Most people don't take the time to think. I
made an international reputation for myself by
deciding to think twice a week
" "When a low probability line of thought
leads to an effective idea, there is a 'Eureka'
moment and at once the low-probability approach
acquires the highest probability " "Creativity is the production of meaning
by synthesis" "The greatest thing by far is to be a
master of metaphor" "Before the gates of excellence the high
Gods have place sweat" "The idea is there locked inside. All you
have to do is remove the excess stone" "A dreamer is one who can only find his
way by moonlight and his punishment is that he
sees the dawn before the rest of the world" "On being asked how he had "discovered"
the law of gravitation, Newton replied 'by
thinking on it continually" "The basis of creativity has always been
a new connection. To make connections would take
hours using words. Your subconscious has to use
pictures" "Sit in reverie and watch the changing colour
of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of
the mind" "Few people have the imagination for
reality" "Many of the things you can count, don't
count. Many of the things you can't count,
really count" "Dreamers of dreams may be pathfinders;
but they may be mere vagrants. Of those who
depart from the pavements, only a few are
explorers: the rest are mere jaywalkers" "Every creative act involves...a new
innocence of perception, liberated from the
cataract of accepted belief" "You cannot teach a man anything; you can
only help him find it within himself." "Don't be afraid to take a big step. You
can't cross a chasm in 2 small jumps." "Happiness lies in the joy of achievement
and the thrill of creative effort." |
