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.

I get my ideas from listening from within.

Keep on the lookout for novel ideas that others have used successfully. Your idea has to be original only in its adaptation to the problem you're working on.

I am long on ideas, but short on time. I expect to live to be only about a hundred.

I've realized that most of my best ideas have followed a good night's sleep.

My principal business is giving commercial value to the brilliant - but misdirected - ideas of others.
