No matter how brilliantly an idea is stated, we will not really be moved unless we have already half thought of it ourselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It seems like we are moving towards something, some kind of point and it is probably going to be an important point in our development or dissolution. That is what everybody seems to be thinking.
If an idea is indeed sensible, it will eventually become just part of the accepted wisdom.
A real idea keeps changing and appears in many places.
With these kinds of proposals, the devil is in the details. We're going to examine this realignment closely. We will fight any measure that compromises our needs - now or in the future.
A great idea is not enough.
I think I have a sense right in the beginning of how big an idea it is and how much room it needs, and, almost more importantly, how long it would sustain anybody's interest.
You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can't get them across, your ideas won't get you anywhere.
I think lots of ideas are sometimes in our heads without us quite, you know, knowing it.
We don't need a new idea; the idea is called America, and it still works.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
