More quotes by 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
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
Our existing thinking habits are excellent, just as the rear wheels of a motor car are excellent, but not enough.
Edward de Bono
We need creativity in order to break free from the temporary structures that have been set up by a particular sequence of experience.
Edward de Bono
The effective thinker treats arrogance as the major sin of thinking.
Edward de Bono
If you never change your mind, why have one?
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
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
Do we have the will to make poverty history?
Edward de Bono

Edward de Bono
Asking a question is the simplest way of focusing thinking...asking the right question may be the most important part of thinking.
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
The simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity.
Edward de Bono
You cannot look in a new direction by looking harder in the same direction.
Edward de Bono
Analysis is simplifying, breaking down things into parts, picking out strands and elements. Analysis is comparing unknown things with things that are known. Analysis also involves picking out relationships and putting them back together as a whole.
Edward de Bono
You cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper
Edward de Bono
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
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? Explaining faith is impossible - vision over visibility - instinct over intellect - a songwriter plays a chore with the faith that he will hear the next one in his head.
Edward de Bono
Complexity means distracted effort. Simplicity means focused effort.
Edward de Bono
It is historical continuity that maintains most assumptions, not repeated assessment of their validity.
Edward de Bono
