The movers and shakers of our world think all the time about that next great idea.  Many of us wonder if we even live in the same world with them.  But are such great ideas solely the property of an elite few “great and creative geniuses”?  Look at some of the following such people as they talk of “big ideas.”

“Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.” — John Steinbeck

“Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.” — Bill Gates

“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” — Albert Einstein

“If you’re not failing every now and again, it’s a sign you’re not doing anything very innovative.” — Woody Allen

“Ideas won’t keep. Something must be done about them.” — Alfred North Whitehead

“Genius is one percent inspiration, and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” — Thomas Edison

“The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.” — Marcus Aurelius

“Every revolution was first a thought in one man’s mind.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

“To cease to think creatively is but little different from ceasing to live.” — Benjamin Franklin

“The creative process is also the most terrifying part because you don’t know exactly what’s going to happen or where it is going to lead. You don’t know what new dangers and challenges you’ll find. It takes an enormous amount of internal security to begin with the spirit of adventure, discovery, and creativity. Without doubt, you have to leave the comfort zone of base camp and confront an entirely new and unknown wilderness.” — Stephen Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
