An idea can be created out of nothing except an inspired imagination

An idea weighs nothing

It can be transferred across the world at the speed of light for virtually zero cost

And yet an idea, when received by a prepared mind, can have extraordinary impact

It can reshape that mind’s view of the world

It can dramatically alter the behavior of the mind’s owner

It can cause the mind to pass on the idea to others
