More quotes by Edward de Bono
Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.
Edward de Bono
Logic will never change emotion or perception.
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 system will always be defended by those countless people who have enough intellect to defend but not quite enough to innovate.
Edward de Bono
A good design is not a democratic consensus.
Edward de Bono
Sometimes the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain way. Looked at in another way, the right course of action may be so obvious that the problem no longer exists.
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
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
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
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
As competition intensifies, the need for creative thinking increases. It is no longer enough to do the same thing better . . . no longer enough to be efficient and solve problems.
Edward de Bono
Teaching thinking for just five hours to unemployed youngsters increased employment 500 percent.
Edward de Bono
To me, a faith in Jesus Christ that is not aligned with the poor ... it's nothing.
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
A characteristic of intuitive solutions and new ideas is that of being obvious once they are discovered.
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
Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone.
Edward de Bono
An expert is someone who has succeeded in making decisions and judgements simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore.
Edward de Bono
Dealing with complexity is an inefficient and unnecessary waste of time, attention and mental energy. There is never any justification for things being complex when they could be simple.
Edward de Bono
