More quotes by Edward de Bono
You cannot look in a new direction by looking harder in the same direction.
Edward de Bono
If you wait for opportunities to occur, you will be one of the crowd.
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
The quality of our thinking will determine the quality of our future
Edward de Bono
The music that really turns me on is either running toward God or away from God. Both recognize the pivot, that God is at the center of the jaunt.
Edward de Bono
Creative thinking is not a talent, it is a skill that can be learned. It empowers people by adding strength to their natural abilities which improves teamwork, productivity and, where appropriate, profits.
Edward de Bono
I know it aches, how your heart it breaks. You can only take so much. Walk on.
Edward de Bono
Studies have shown that 90% of error in thinking is due to error in perception. If you can change your perception, you can change your emotion and this can lead to new ideas.
Edward de Bono
It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor, since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions, but the humor process is involved in changing them.
Edward de Bono
Complexity creates confusion, simplicity focus.
Edward de Bono

Edward de Bono
A myth is a fixed way of looking at the world which cannot be destroyed because, looked at through the myth, all evidence supports the myth.
Edward de Bono
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
Edward de Bono
A characteristic of intuitive solutions and new ideas is that of being obvious once they are discovered.
Edward de Bono
Possibilities play a much bigger role in thinking than most people believe. Without possibilities you cannot make progress.
Edward de Bono
Being right is not too difficult. Your choose your perception. You select your information. You leave out what does not suit you. You drag in some general-purpose value words. You throw in a sneer or two about the opposition, and you are a fine fellow who made a fine speech.
Edward de Bono
Sometimes the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain way. Looked at in another way, the right course of action may be so obvious that the problem no longer exists.
Edward de Bono
It's always amazed me how little attention philosophers, psychologists, or anyone else actually has paid to humor.
Edward de Bono
America is not just a country, it's an idea.
Edward de Bono
You can't dig a different hole by digging the same one deeper.
Edward de Bono
