Intriguing quotes on the world of ideas

Everyone gets inspired in different ways. Some as a result of watching the actions of others, some by listening to their words. I happen to be inspired by the latter. Great words and great ideas are synonymous.

Below are some quotes that I believe help describe the power and influence of ideas:
