“A city (Paris) where great ideas perish, done to death by a witticism”
Honore de Balzac
“I gotta be honest, I kinda like the idea of death. Because if I could live forever I'd probably never do half of the things I do every single day... knowing I'll die someday.”
Vanda M
“If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies... It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.”
Albert Einstein
“The value of an idea lies in the using of it.”
Thomas Alva Edison
“If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it”
“Ideas and philosophies have a shelf-life. They must be kept fresh and renewed or they will spoil. If left unattended, the same ideas and philosophies that once nourished you and helped you grow can poison you and make you sick. Become aware of new ideas that can refresh your way of life and be open to the fact that your old ideas and philosophies can work for you for some time, but when the shelf-life has passed, those ideas and philosophies could also harm you.”
Steve Maraboli
“I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas.”
