More quotes by Edward de Bono
If you do not design the future, someone or something else will design it for you.
Edward de Bono

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
A good design is not a democratic consensus.
Edward de Bono
Most executives, many scientists, and almost all business school graduates believe that if you analyze data, this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately, this belief is totally wrong. The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
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

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

Edward de Bono
I do a great deal of work with young children, and if you give a child a problem, he may come up with a highly original solution, because he doesn't have the established route to it.
Edward de Bono
Language is the biggest barrier to human progress because language is an encyclopedia of ignorance. Old perceptions are frozen into language and force us to look at the world in an old fashioned way.
Edward de Bono
You can analyse the past, but you have to design the future
Edward de Bono
Simplicity before understanding is simplistic simplicity after understanding is simple.
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
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
The system will always be defended by those countless people who have enough intellect to defend but not quite enough to innovate.
Edward de Bono
Teaching thinking for just five hours to unemployed youngsters increased employment 500 percent.
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
Effectiveness without values is a tool without a purpose.
