More From Thomas A. Edison

The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.
Real Simple Views
I didn't pay much attention to the whistles and whoops, in fact, i didn't quite hear them. i was full of a strange feeling, as if i were two people. one of them was norma jeane from the orphanage who belonged to nobody; the other was someone whose name i didn't know. but i knew where she belonged; she belonged to the ocean and the sky and the whole world.

If you hear a good idea, capture it; write it down. don't trust your memory. then on a cold wintry evening, go back through your journal, the ideas that changed your life, the ideas that saved your marriage, the ideas that bailed you out of bankruptcy, the ideas that helped you become successful, the ideas that made you millions. what a good review-going back over the collection of ideas that you gathered over the years. so be a collector of good ideas for your business, for your relationships, for your future.

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.

I never worried about teams who spend what they want to spend. it never bothered me. at the moment we have a lot of middle eastern owners, we have american owners of course, russian owners. it never bothered me one bit. all i was concerned about was that we at united maintained our level of expectation, be competitive, be at the top part of the premier league.

Ideas matter a lot, the underlying ideas that stand behind policies. when you don't have ideas, your policies are flip-flopping all over the place. when you do have ideas, you have more consistency. and when you have the right ideas - then you can get somewhere (reagan had the right ideas).

Have you ever been going somewhere with a crowd and you're certain it's the wrong road and you tell them, but they won't listen, so you just have to plod along in what you know is the wrong direction till somebody more important gets the same idea?

The idea is there locked inside. all you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Ideas Excess Stones
When you meet anyone in the flesh you realize immediately that he is a human being and not a sort of caricature embodying certain ideas. it is partly for this reason that i don't mix much in literary circles, because i know from experience that once i have met and spoken to anyone i shall never again be able to feel any intellectual brutality towards him, even when i feel i ought to - like the labour m.p.s who get patted on the back by dukes and are lost forever more.
Circles Ideas Forever
I've never killed anybody... but i've definitely thought about it. but that's how we are. that's what happens when you put people together and put them into societies and cultures and have laws and the idea of justice.
