Quote by Doug Horton

Good ideas are a dime a dozen, bad ones are free.

Good ideas are a dime a dozen, bad ones are free.

Summary

This quote suggests that good ideas are abundant and commonly found, thus not highly valued or scarce. On the other hand, bad ideas tend to be readily available and easily accessible without any cost. It highlights the notion that coming up with a valuable, innovative idea requires effort, uniqueness, and creativity, while bad ideas are easily obtained and lack such characteristics. Essentially, the quote reminds us to recognize the significance and rarity of good ideas, as they hold greater potential for success and advancement compared to freely available, unimpressive ideas.

After reading all that has been written, and after thinking all that can be thought, on the topics of God and the soul, the man who has a right to say that he thinks at all, will find himself face to face with the conclusion that, on these topics, the most profound thought is that which can be the least easily distinguished from the most superficial sentiment.
