“If everything you do needs to work on a three-year time horizon, then you’re competing against a lot of people. But if you’re willing to invest on a seven-year time horizon, you’re now competing against a fraction of those peopleâ€� Just by lengthening the time horizon, you can engage in endeavors that you could never otherwise pursue”
― Jeff Bezos

“There is a strange idea abroad, held by all monetary cranks, that credit is something a banker gives to a man. Credit, on the contrary, is something a man already has. He has it, perhaps, because he already has marketable assets of a greater cash value than the loan for which he is asking. Or he has it because his character and past record have earned it. He brings it into the bank with him. That is why the banker makes him the loan. The banker is not giving something for nothing.”
― Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson

“My best ideas come in the shower, where I’m showered with water, but also ideas.”

“Both the suicidal and non-suicidal are often angry with others. One way to discharge this anger is to fantasize about violent revenge. The insults of daily life often cause fantasies of revenge to flare up and quickly subside. The people with these fantasies usually do not act on them; they are not motives or goals. They are involuntary responses to perceived insult—ways of coping with rage. The suicidal, whether or not they attempt, suffer tremendous and persistent pain and anger. That this pain should find its way into their fantasies and dreams is no surprise. This ideation is not a motive for action; it is an alternative to action. Fantasizing about suicide is an effort to delay or avoid suicide, not the activity of formulating a motive, goal, or intention. Fantasies doubtlessly succeed in preventing many attempts.”

“No matter how wonderful an idea may be, the ultimate question is "will the idea be profitable?" If the answer to this question is yes, it's a good idea. If the answer to this question is no, it’s a bad idea.”

“If he stayed, it would not be for them--need not be for them--but for himself. And yet each day he did stay. Bored and tense, true, but he stayed. And he discovered thereby how badly he wanted to stay. That the impulse to live was in him stronger than he might have imagined, undiminished by his bleak circumstances.”
― Mohsin Hamid, The Last White Man

“Business ideas are like those flying dragons in Avatar. First you have to find one, let it choose you, then be brave enough to ride it.”
― Ryan Lilly

“People are bad at looking at seeds and guessing what size tree will grow out of them. The way you’ll get big ideas in, say, health care is by starting out with small ideas. If you try to do some big thing, you don’t just need it to be big; you need it to be good. And it’s really hard to do big and good simultaneously. So, what that means is you can either do something small and good and then gradually make it bigger, or do something big and bad and gradually make it better. And you know what? Empirically, starting big just does not work. That’s the way the government does things. They do something really big that’s really bad, and they think, Well, we’ll make it better, and then it never gets betterâ€�.

“God helps those who help themselves' is common sense, 'God helps those who cannot help themselves' is sound theology, and 'God helps all the living', a simple ideation.”

― Vineet Raj Kapoor

“Waiting for a good idea is not about time but about the effort of wait.

Of course wait means working all the time researching options.”
― Vineet Raj Kapoor

“Put simply, when ideating, more is better. When ideating with the goal of reaching deep divergence, more is essential.”
― Kevin Molesworth, The Utility of Deep Divergence in Applied Creativity

“The arbitrary influences affecting artists' vocabularies are many, and not necessarily all beneficial. The limiting trends of the day, the biting criticism, or the instruction insistent upon getting us to conform against our temperament can affect the work in profound ways, sometimes stalling us for decades.”
― Kate Kretz, Art from Your Core: A Holistic Guide to Visual Voice

“Business ideation is a process that helps you generate and develop new business ideas. It is a key skill for entrepreneurs and business leaders, as it can help them to identify and exploit new opportunities. The five steps of business ideation are:

Begin with a value basis. What kind of value will your product or service offer to customers?

Estimate the market. Is there a market for your product or service? How much are people willing to pay for it?

Imagine efficient delivery. Can you get your product or service to the market efficiently and profitably?

Evaluate profitability. Will your product or service be profitable?

Execute. This is where you put your plan into action and bring your product or service to market.

Following these five steps and repeating them cyclically can help business leaders to generate and develop successful business ideas.”
― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.

“The names of my devils have excited a good deal of curiosity, and there have been many explanations, all wrong. The truth is that I aimed merely at making them nasty—and here too I am perhaps indebted to Lindsay—by the sound. Once a name was invented, I might speculate like anyone else (and with no more authority than anyone else) as to the phonetic associations which caused the unpleasant effect. I fancy that Scrooge, screw, thumbscrew, tapeworm, and red tape all do some work in my hero’s name, and that slob, slobber, slubber, and gob have all gone into slubgob.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
