Failure to solve problems is usually due to lack of imaginative effort, rather than lack of knowledge or judgment. 

I believe that all of us are endowed with a divine spark, and that that spark is our creative imagination. By implementing it with will-power we can acquire a habit of creative effort. And to my mind, creative effort is the key to a good life.

Ideas are the priceless keys to good living.

The more ideas we can think up, the more satisfying our lives will be.

Brainstorming: Using the brain to storm a creative problem—and doing so in commando fashion, with each stormer attacking the same objective.

All I want to do is convince people that they, too, can get ideas, big ideas that can bring them financial rewards, a fuller and happier life for themselves and for their families-- and possibly even ideas that can change the world for the better.

Everybody has creative talent… We all have latent creative ability that too often is only brought to the fore by the force of circumstances.

The one overshadowing reason why we should keep ourselves creatively alert is that in this way we can make ourselves more worthwhile to ourselves as well as to others. The fact is that the lamp which lit the world (imagination) can light our lives.

Applied imagination can make thinkers out of dreamers. Really creative thinkers aren’t dreamers; they’ve made their imagination produce.

Who can think up ideas? You and every other normally intelligent person. But you have to try. 

Everybody loves to be a critic or a judge. Judicial judgment calls for no great mental sweat.
