If there's nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come, there is nothing more ubiquitously pervasive than an idea whose time won't go.

Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come - even if it came in a - living room - or to someone - with a humble living.

Stefan Hell

Nothing else in the world... not all the armies... is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo said you can stop an invasion of armies, but you can never stop an invasion of ideas. There's nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. It wasn't until 1920, four years after my mother was born - and she's still alive and healthy - that women were given the right to vote. Now it's hard even to imagine that for the greater part of the history of our country fifty percent of the population was not allowed to vote.

Wayne Dyer

There is no force so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

Everett Dirksen

Have more than one idea on the go at any one time. If it's a choice between writing a book and doing nothing I will always choose the latter. It's only if I have an idea for two books that I choose one rather than the other. I always have to feel that I'm bunking off from something.

Geoff Dyer

All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time as come.

Victor Hugo

The idea of intimately entwining with customers [to get ideas] is an idea whose time has come.

Tom Peters

There is nothing more powerful than a new idea in the hands of a social entrepreneur

Bill Drayton

Once you accept an idea, it's an idea whose time has come.

William James

Ideas are nothing. They're irrelevant. If you think your idea is so important, you're doomed. The reality is if you don't like one idea, I've got 299 more. If I tell you my idea, and you can execute better against that idea than I can - great; I get to play a terrific game.

Warren Spector

A large share of our art heritage is now derived from peoples whose idea of art was quite other than ours, and even from peoples to whom the very idea of art meant nothing.

Andre Malraux

Is there an idea more radical in the history of the human race than turning your children over to total strangers whom you know nothing about, and having those strangers work on your child's mind, out of your sight, for a period of twelve years? Could there be a more radical idea than that? Back in Colonial days in America, if you proposed that kind of idea, they'd burn you at the stake, you mad person! It's a mad idea!

John Taylor Gatto

I realized clearly, perhaps for the first time, what strained and anxious lives dogs must lead, so emotionally involved in the world of men, whose affections they strive endlessly to secure, whose authority they are expected unquestioningly to obey, and whose mind they never can do more than imperfectly reach and comprehend.

J. R. Ackerley

I sell ideas. Actually, if you think about it, everything is really no more than idea. The past is nothing more than a memory, which is one kind of idea. The future is still a hope, another kind of idea. The present is fleeting and becomes a memory before you can put your hands on it. All ideas. I sell ideas.

Ted Dekker
