More quotes by Edward de Bono
It's not enough to rage against the lie.. you've got to replace it with the truth.
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?

Edward de Bono

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
Our existing thinking habits are excellent, just as the rear wheels of a motor car are excellent, but not enough.
Edward de Bono
The quality of our thinking will determine the quality of our future
Edward de Bono
The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
Edward de Bono
In a sense, words are encyclopedias of ignorance because they freeze perceptions at one moment in history and then insist we continue to use these frozen perceptions when we should be doing better.
Edward de Bono
I know it aches, how your heart it breaks. You can only take so much. Walk on.
Edward de Bono
You can analyse the past, but you have to design the future
Edward de Bono
