More quotes by 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
A person who knows all the answers, has an opinion on everything, has a certainty backed up by rational argument, has very little possibility of further progress. 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
Teaching thinking for just five hours to unemployed youngsters increased employment 500 percent.
Edward de Bono
When the story of these times gets written, we want it to say that we did all we could, and it was more than anyone could have imagined.
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
You cannot look in a new direction by looking harder in the same direction.
Edward de Bono
There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all.
Edward de Bono
My thinking was taught to tribes in South Africa like the Zulus and Xhosas. At the time there were about 210 fights breaking out among them every month, but after they listened to my lessons, this fell to just four.
Edward de Bono
Logic will never change emotion or perception.
Edward de Bono
America is not just a country, it's an idea.
Edward de Bono
The winner is the chef who takes the same ingredients as everyone else and produces the best results.
Edward de Bono
This new meta-system is very much in favor of the self, but a self that is based on a proper sense of dignity, not on an inflated ego. A person who dare not admit he is wrong inflates his ego but weakens his self.
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
Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone.
Edward de Bono
We may have a perfectly adequate way of doing something, but that does not mean there cannot be a better way. So we set out to find an alternative way. This is the basis of any improvement that is not fault correction or problem solving.
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
The simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity.
Edward de Bono
I think school is a place where thinking should be taught.
Edward de Bono
It's not enough to rage against the lie.. you've got to replace it with the truth.
Edward de Bono
You can analyse the past, but you have to design the future
Edward de Bono
