More quotes by Edward de Bono
To me, a faith in Jesus Christ that is not aligned with the poor ... it's nothing.
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's always amazed me how little attention philosophers, psychologists, or anyone else actually has paid to humor.
Edward de Bono
Possibilities play a much bigger role in thinking than most people believe. Without possibilities you cannot make progress.
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
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
Complexity creates confusion, simplicity focus.
Edward de Bono
If you do not design the future, someone or something else will design it for you.
Edward de Bono
A discussion should be a genuine attempt to explore a subject rather than a battle between competing egos.
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
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
Only the human brain can deliberately change perceptions, change patterns, invent concepts and tolerate ambiguity.
Edward de Bono
I know it aches, how your heart it breaks. You can only take so much. Walk on.
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
America is not just a country, it's an idea.
Edward de Bono
It's not enough to rage against the lie.. you've got to replace it with the truth.
Edward de Bono
It is historical continuity that maintains most assumptions, not repeated assessment of their validity.
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
If you never change your mind, why have one?
Edward de Bono
If you wait for opportunities to occur, you will be one of the crowd.
Edward de Bono
