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.

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

The beauty of a great idea lies in the art of using it.

Absorb ideas from every source.

I get my ideas from listening from within.

Most of my ideas belonged to other people who never bothered to develop them.
