The degree in which a poet's imagination dominates reality is, in the end, the exact measure of his importance and dignity.: George Santayana (1863 - 1952)
Imagination is the pontoon bridge making way for the timid feet of reason.: Author Unknown
The faculty of imagination is the great spring of human activity, and the principle source of human improvement. As it delights in presenting to the mind scenes and characters more perfect than those which we are acquainted with, it prevents us from ever being completely satisfied without present condition, or with our past attainments, and engages us continually in the pursuit of some untried enjoyment, or of some ideal excellence. Destroy this faculty, and the condition of man will become as stationary as that of the brutes.: Dugald Stewart

My method is different. I don't rush into actual work. When I get a new idea, I start at once building it up in my imagination, and make improvements and operate the devise in my mind. When I have gone as far as to embody everything in my invention, every possible improvement I can think of, and when I see no fault anywhere, I put into concrete form the final product of my brain.: Win Ng
Study the situation thoroughly, go over in your imagination the various courses of action possible to you and the consequences which can and may follow from each course. Pick out the course which gives the most promise and go ahead.: Dr. Maxwell Maltz
All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.: Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.: Napoleon Hill
