More quotes by Edward de Bono
Creative thinking - in terms of idea creativity - is not a mystical talent. It is a skill that can be practised and nurtured.
Edward de Bono
It's not enough to rage against the lie.. you've got to replace it with the truth.
Edward de Bono
Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.
Edward de Bono
You can analyse the past, but you need to design the future. That is the difference between suffering the future and enjoying it.
Edward de Bono
You cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper
Edward de Bono
Western traditions of education have emphasized knowledge analysis, description and debate. They all have a part to play, but today there is a whole vast aspect of doing that has just been left out. Operacy is what keeps society going.
Edward de Bono

Such a person is unlikely to walk away from a discussion with anything more than a reaffirmation of how right he or she has been all along.
Edward de Bono

Edward de Bono
The simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity.
Edward de Bono
What the joke displays is a switch in perception. This is important in changing the way we think.
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
Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations.
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
I think school is a place where thinking should be taught.
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
Simplicity before understanding is simplistic simplicity after understanding is simple.
Edward de Bono
Effectiveness without values is a tool without a purpose.
Edward de Bono
Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone.
Edward de Bono
Humor is probably the most significant characteristics of the human mind. Far more significant than reason. In fact, reason is actually a very cheap commodity.
