More quotes by Edward de Bono
Man owes his success to his creativity. No one doubts the need for it. It is most useful in good times and essential in bad.
Edward de Bono
I think there is a danger with young people of being dependent in the sense that they don't acquire any identity or self-image of themselves as thinkers.
Edward de Bono
An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
Edward de Bono
There's a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don't have to think, you just have to get more information - gets very dangerous.
Edward de Bono
It wouldn't cost too much to change the rules of trade so that poor countries can work their way out of poverty. But the world's leaders won't act unless they hear enough people telling them. And every day they fail to act, thousands of people die because they can't afford the basics of survival.
Edward de Bono
If you do not design the future, someone or something else will design it for you.
Edward de Bono
There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all.
Edward de Bono
Explaining belief has alwayas been difficult. How do you explain a love and a logic at the heart of the universe when the world is so out of whack? Explaining faith is impossible - vision over visibility - instinct over intellect - a songwriter plays a chore with the faith that he will hear the next one in his head.
Edward de Bono
What the joke displays is a switch in perception. This is important in changing the way we think.
Edward de Bono
The vertical thinker says: 'I know what I am looking for.' The lateral thinker says: 'I am looking but I won't know what I am looking for until I have found it.'
Edward de Bono
To me, a faith in Jesus Christ that is not aligned with the poor ... it's nothing.
Edward de Bono
The quality of our thinking will determine the quality of our future
Edward de Bono
Maybe the social value of truth is as a destination - so long as we do not assume we have arrived there.
Edward de Bono
Simplicity before understanding is simplistic simplicity after understanding is simple.
Edward de Bono
The purpose of science is not to analyze or describe but to make useful models of the world. A model is useful if it allows us to get use out of it.
Edward de Bono
It is well known that problem avoidance is an important part of problem solving. Instead of solving the problem you go upstream and alter the system so that the problem does not occur in the first place.
Edward de Bono
Every valuable creative idea must always be logical in hindsight. If it were not, we would never be able to see its value.
Edward de Bono
Mock the devil, and he will flee from thee.
Edward de Bono
I'm tired of dreaming. I'm into doing at the moment. It's, like, let's only have goals that we can go after.
Edward de Bono
Do we have the will to make poverty history?
