Faith is a precursor of all our ideas.

Over the years I have discovered that ideas come through an intense desire for them; continually desiring, the mind becomes a watch-tower on the lookout for incidents that may excite the imagination - music, a sunset, may give image to an idea.

Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.

All good thoughts and ideas mean nothing without action.

You ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. I've only ever had one.

Creative minds have the ability to imagine or invent something new by combining, changing or reapplying existing ideas.
