Unlike liberalism, with its fundamental belief in the long-range power of ideas, conservatism is bound by the stock of ideas inherited at a given time. And since it does not really believe in the power of argument, its last resort is generally a claim to superior wisdom, based on some self-arrogated superior quality. ~ Friedrich August Von Hayek
Power Of Ideas quotes by Friedrich August Von Hayek
Our work has only begun. In our time we have an historic opportunity to shape a global balance of power that favors freedom and that will therefore deepen and extend the peace. And I use the word power broadly, because even more important than military and indeed economic power is the power of ideas, the power of compassion, and the power of hope. ~ Condoleezza Rice
Power Of Ideas quotes by Condoleezza Rice
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world , and that is an idea whose time has come ~ Victor Hugo
Power Of Ideas quotes by Victor Hugo
If you want to kill any idea in the world, get a committee working on it. ~ Charles Kettering
Power Of Ideas quotes by Charles Kettering
Can an idea a notion as abstract as Relativism produce by itself the effects alleged? cause all the harm, destroy all the lives and reputations? I am as far as anyone can be from denying the power of ideas in history, but the suggestion that a philosophy (as Relativism is often called) has perverted millions and debased daily life is on the face of it absurd. No idea working alone has ever demoralized society, and there have been plenty of ideas simpler and more exciting than Relativism. ~ Jacques Barzun
Power Of Ideas quotes by Jacques Barzun
To truly understand the Nazis," Ulmstrom said, leading the way, "you have to stop considering them as a political party. They called themselves Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei - the National Socialist German Workers' Party - but in reality, they were really a cult." "A cult?" Gray asked. "They bore all the trappings, ja? A spiritual leader who could not be questioned, disciples who wore matching clothes, rituals and blood oaths performed in secret, and most important of all, the creation of a potent totem to worship. The Hakenkreuz. The Broken Cross, also called the swastika. A symbol to supplant the crucifix and the Star of David." "Hari krishnas on steroids," Monk mumbled. "Do not joke. The Nazis understood the inherent power of ideas. A power greater than any gun or rocket. They used it to subjugate and brainwash an entire nation. ~ James Rollins
Power Of Ideas quotes by James Rollins
The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas, and throw the bad ones away. ~ Linus Pauling
Power Of Ideas quotes by Linus Pauling
Those leaders who fail, lack the capability to resonate their idea & thoughts ~ Aayush Jain
Power Of Ideas quotes by Aayush Jain
The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy. ~ John Maynard Keynes
Power Of Ideas quotes by John Maynard Keynes
An idea is salvation by imagination ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
Power Of Ideas quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
Almost all new ideas have a certain aspect of foolishness when they are first produced. ~ Alfred North Whitehead
Power Of Ideas quotes by Alfred North Whitehead
A ruin is not just something that happened long ago to someone else; its history is that of us all, the transience of power, of ideas, of all human endeavors. ~ George Schaller
Power Of Ideas quotes by George Schaller
There is only one power that determines the course of history, just as it determines the course of every individual life: the power of man's rational faculty - the power of ideas. ~ Ayn Rand
Power Of Ideas quotes by Ayn Rand
We must make the building of a free society once more an intellectual adventure, a deed of courage ... Unless we can make the philosophic foundations of a free society once more a living intellectual issue, and its implementation a task which challenges the ingenuity and imagination of our liveliest minds, the prospects of freedom are indeed dark. But if we can regain that belief in the power of ideas which was the mark of liberalism at its best, the battle is not lost. ~ Friedrich Hayek
Power Of Ideas quotes by Friedrich Hayek
I believe in the power of ideas, I believe in the power of books, but you have to give them time. ~ Thomas Piketty
Power Of Ideas quotes by Thomas Piketty
If you are possessed by an idea, you find it expressed everywhere, you even smell it. ~ Thomas Mann
Power Of Ideas quotes by Thomas Mann
Singapore is now in the top five. Its income per person even tops oil-rich and scarcely populated Kuwait. Having realized that the country had no natural resources, the government of founding father Lee Kuan Yew directed massive investment in human capital. Kids who were eight or ten or thirteen several decades ago are now some of the most productive citizens of today's economy.

A tiny nation-state with no natural resources and a large number of people living in a relatively small physical space has managed to outearn a country with some of the largest oil deposits ever found. That is the power of investing in and nurturing young brains.

Education alone may not be enough to guarantee economic success. There are other success factors that matter, like good governance, rule of law, and access to trading routes and partners. But if you were challenged to assemble a prosperous society from scratch, education would be the first building block you'd want to develop. ~ John Wood
Power Of Ideas quotes by John Wood
The United States is so powerful that the only country capable of destroying her might be the United States herself, which means that the ultimate terrorist strategy would be to just leave the country alone. That way, America's ugliest partisan tendencies could emerge unimpeded by the unifying effects of war. The ultimate betrayal of tribe isn't acting competitively - that should be encouraged - but predicating your power on the excommunication of others from the group. ~ Sebastian Junger
Power Of Ideas quotes by Sebastian Junger
You are facing one of the greatest decisions of your career. You must choose between Shonts and Gorgas. If you fall back upon the old methods of sanitation, you will fail, just as the French failed. If you back up Gorgas and his ideas and let him pursue his campaign against the mosquitoes, you will get your canal. ~ David McCullough
Power Of Ideas quotes by David McCullough
Abortion and contraception are inextricably intertwined in their use. As the idea of family planning spreads through a community there appears to be a rise in the incidence of induced abortion at the point where the community begins to initiate the use of contraceptives. ~ Malcolm Potts
Power Of Ideas quotes by Malcolm Potts
To operate within the matrix of
power is not the same as to replicate uncritically relations of domination. ~ Judith Butler
Power Of Ideas quotes by Judith Butler
I loved the idea of touching base with an audience. ~ Jerry Stiller
Power Of Ideas quotes by Jerry Stiller
There are so many actors that I've worked with that I'd like to work with again and there are so many girls. So often when you're up for a role, you're the only girl, and people think that a positive thing: "You get to be the only girl here!" That's not an exciting kind of idea to me. ~ Emily Browning
Power Of Ideas quotes by Emily Browning
Something was making him nibble at the edge of stale ideas as if his sturdy physical egotism no longer nourished his peremptory heart. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Power Of Ideas quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
And what about ageing? Do men force the fear of ageing upon us
or are we ourselves terrified because we only know one kind of power
the power of youthful beauty?
Isn't it possible that if we became comfortable with other forms of female power, men might too? In her wonderful futurist novel, He, She, and It, Marge Piercy imagines a cyborg who is taught to love the bodies of older women. A delicious proposal
because it tells that whatever we may imagine can come true. Women often hate their own bodies. Sometimes I think that the most important things about having at least one relationship with someone of your own gender
especially if you are a woman
is to confront the female self-hatred and turn it into self-love. ~ Erica Jong
Power Of Ideas quotes by Erica Jong
The three most powerful and most apparent means used by Rome to retain her power over the minds of her votaries are Ignorance, Superstition, and Persecution. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Power Of Ideas quotes by Charles Spurgeon
If there's a criticism of 'Cassadaga' that I agreed with, it's that we left things in the oven too long, that songs were overstuffed, with too many ideas competing for space. ~ Conor Oberst
Power Of Ideas quotes by Conor Oberst
The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray. ~ Aldous Huxley
Power Of Ideas quotes by Aldous Huxley
Your faith in God invites and releases God's power to work in your life. Don't put faith in your ability to have faith; put your faith in God's ability to heal. If your faith feels weak to you, ask God to increase it. Believe that there is nothing too hard for God (Mark 10:27). If you want to see a miracle, lay hold of this Scripture until it becomes part of your mind and heart. ~ Stormie O'martian
Power Of Ideas quotes by Stormie O'martian
My father felt that his world of ideas was too liberal for traditional rabbinical teachings, and he looked for a chance to find a way in life. ~ Immanuel Velikovsky
Power Of Ideas quotes by Immanuel Velikovsky
And however one might sentimentalise it, this sex business was one of the most ancient, sordid connections and subjections. Poets who glorified it were mostly men. Women had always known there was something better, something higher. And now they knew it more definitely than ever. The beautiful pure freedom of a woman was infinitely more wonderful than any sexual love. The only unfortunate thing was that men lagged so far behind women in the matter. They insisted on the sex thing like dogs.

And a woman had to yield. A man was like a child with his appetites. A woman had to yield him what he wanted, or like a child he would probably turn nasty and flounce away and spoil what was a very pleasant connection. But a woman could yield to a man without yielding her inner, free self. That the poets and talkers about sex did not seem to have taken sufficiently into account. A woman could take a man without really giving herself away. Certainly she could take him without giving herself into his power. Rather she could use this sex thing to have power over him. For she only had to hold herself back in sexual intercourse, and let him finish and expend himself without herself coming to the crisis: and then she could prolong the connection and achieve her orgasm and her crisis while he was merely her tool. ~ D.H. Lawrence
Power Of Ideas quotes by D.H. Lawrence
learned that knowledge is power. If you want to control people's lives, limit their knowledge. That is why, throughout history, despots have burned books and exiled (and even killed) those with knowledge who threatened their power. Before the Civil War in America, it was against the law in many states to teach slaves to read and write. Knowledge is the most powerful force on earth. That is why the control of knowledge is essential to the control of power. The formula is: Information x Education = Knowledge Knowledge is power - and lack of knowledge is weakness. ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki
Power Of Ideas quotes by Robert T. Kiyosaki
In [fairy tales], power is rarely the right tool for survival anyway. Rather the powerless thrive on alliances, often in the form of reciprocated acts of kindness - from beehives that were not raided, birds that were not killed but set free or fed, old women who were saluted with respect. Kindness sown among the meek is harvested in crisis ~ Rebecca Solnit
Power Of Ideas quotes by Rebecca Solnit
Our ideology is intolerant ... and peremptorily demands ... the complete transformation of public life to its ideas. ~ Adolf Hitler
Power Of Ideas quotes by Adolf Hitler
You see a lot of good ideas or well-written scripts that are bad ideas. ~ John McTiernan
Power Of Ideas quotes by John McTiernan
Australia's is a special kind of philistinism, an immovable materialism which puts art and ideas of any kind deliberately and firmly to one side to let the serious business of living proceed without distraction. ~ Robin Boyd
Power Of Ideas quotes by Robin Boyd
I think I would rather live on the verge of falling and let my security be in the all-sufficiency of the grace of God than to live in some pietistic illusion of moral excellence. Not that I don't want to be morally excellent but my faith isn't in the idea that I'm more moral than anybody else. My faith is in the idea that God and His love are greater than whatever sins any of us commit. ~ Rich Mullins
Power Of Ideas quotes by Rich Mullins
But the problems of perpetuating a hierarchical society go deeper than this. There are only four ways in which a ruling group can fall from power. Either it is conquered from without, or it governs so inefficiently that the masses are stirred to revolt, or it allows a strong and discontented Middle group to come into being, or it loses its own self-confidence and willingness to govern. ~ George Orwell
Power Of Ideas quotes by George Orwell
Books are better than television, the internet, or the computer for educating and maintaining freedom.
Books matter because they state ideas and then attempt to thoroughly prove them. They have an advantage precisely because they slow down the process, allowing the reader to internalize, respond, react and transform. The ideas in books matter because time is taken to establish truth, and because the reader must take the time to consider each idea and either accept it or, if he rejects it, to think through sound reasons for doing so. A nation of people who write and read is a nation with the attention span to earn an education and free society if they choose. ~ Oliver DeMille
Power Of Ideas quotes by Oliver DeMille
The fatal metaphor of progress, which means leaving things behind us, has utterly obscured the real idea of growth, which means leaving things inside us. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Power Of Ideas quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
This is my Italy, she thought. The power and beauty of the antiquities, the detailed frescos, the imposing statuaries carved of milk white granite, Don Martinelli's hammered gold chalice, the glorious tones of the music, the Italy of Puccini and Verdi, Caruso and Toscanini, not the Italy of the shattered spirits in Hoboken and the drunken, desperate Anna Buffa. This was the Italy that fed her soul, where hope was restored and broken hearts were mended in the hands of great artists. ~ Adriana Trigiani
Power Of Ideas quotes by Adriana Trigiani
Air forces offered the possibility of striking a the enemy's economic and moral centres without having first to achieve 'the destruction of the enemy's main forces on the battlefield'. Air-power might attain a direct end by indirect means - hopping over opposition instead of overthrowing it. ~ B.H. Liddell Hart
Power Of Ideas quotes by B.H. Liddell Hart
Millions are impressed by the victories of power and take it for the sign of strength. To be sure, power over people is an expression of superior strength in a purely material sense. If I have the power over another person to kill him, I am "stronger" than he is. But in a psychological sense, the lust for power is not rooted in strength but in weakness. It is the expression of inability of the individual self to stand alone and live. It is the desperate attempt to gain secondary strength where genuine strength is lacking. ~ Erich Fromm
Power Of Ideas quotes by Erich Fromm
Business is the marketplace of ideas. ~ Mark Cuban
Power Of Ideas quotes by Mark Cuban
The principle of vis inertiae ( ... ) seems to be identical in physics and metaphysics. It is not more true in the former, that a large body is with more difficulty set in motion than a smaller one, and that its subsequent momentum is commensurate with this difficulty, than it is, in the latter, that intellects of the vaster capacity, while more forcible, more constant, and more eventful in their movements than those of inferior grade, are yet the less readily moved, and more embarrassed, and full of hesitation in the first few steps of their progress ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Power Of Ideas quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
My sort of stability as a character - it's never been one of my strongest attributes. I'm a bit of a clusterf - k. I get so many great ideas that I kind of mesmerize people with another plan before the previous plan is hatched out. ~ Robert Plant
Power Of Ideas quotes by Robert Plant
[T]he power of willful activity to shape the brain remains the working principle not only of early brain development, but also of brain function as an ongoing, living process. ~ Jeffrey M. Schwartz
