What is an idea? Use these quotes from famous people to think about what ideas are and how to get them.

1. “An idea is nothing more or less than a new combination of old elements.” - Jack Foster

6. “The inlet of a man’s mind is what he learns; the outlet is what he accomplishes. If his mind is not fed by a continued supply of new ideas which he puts to work with purpose, and if there is no outlet in action, his mind becomes stagnant. Such a mind is a danger to the individual who owns it and is useless to the community.” - Jeremiah W. Jenks

18. ”When you are finished creating ideas, you are finished!” – Vernon Myers

19. ”There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.” - Mark Twain

30. “…new ideas and opportunities come to those who decide what they want and have the courage to pursue it.” - Michael Leboeuf

31. “One idea can make you rich. A dozen ideas will make you richer…quicker.” - M.R. Kopmeyer

32. “The one thing no one has figured out how to do is to outsource the creation of ideas.” – Keith Ferrazi

33. “The solution to any problem is just an idea.” – Marsh Fisher

34. “Once the subconscious mind accepts an idea, it begins to execute it.” – Joseph Murphy

35. “When your mind is functioning correctly, there is an out streaming of light from within in the form of inspiration, hunches, leadings, and intuitive flashes - trust this process of inspiration. “In the twinkling of an eye” ideas and plans may flow into your mind.” – Eric Butterworth
