  1. thought

    Idea is in Greek a form or an image. The word signified in early philosophical use the archetype or primal image which the Platonic philosophy supposed to be the model or pattern that existing objects imperfectly embody. This high sense has nearly disappeared from the word idea, and has been largely appropriated by ideal, tho something of the original meaning still appears when in theological or philosophical language we speak of the ideas of God. The present popular use of idea makes it to signify any product of mental apprehension or activity, considered as an object of knowledge or thought; this coincides with the primitive sense at but a single point — that an idea is mental as opposed to anything substantial or physical; thus, almost any mental product, as a belief, conception, design, opinion, etc., may now be called an idea. Compare FANCY; IDEAL.

    Synonyms:
    apprehension, archetype, belief, conceit, concept, conception, design, fancy, fantasy, idea, ideal, image, imagination, impression, judgment, model, notion, opinion, pattern, plan, purpose, sentiment, supposition, theory

    Antonyms:
    actuality, fact, reality, substance

How to use thought in a sentence?

  1. Vitaliy Raskalov:

    There's no philosophy to OTR, we are just a small group of photographers, who like exploration, interesting places and some different countries, actually it's very simple, I bought a camera and after that I thought,' maybe I'll try to climb on rooftops.' I took some pictures from the rooftops and thought,' I like it' and after that we climbed all around Russia, we did a lot of cities and after that we traveled because Russia for us was finished and we thought it wasn't a bad idea to try something really kind of amazing.

  2. Bertrand Russell:

    Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth more than ruin more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.

  3. Mary Manin Morrissey:

    Put love first. Entertain thoughts that give life. And when a thought or resentment, or hurt, or fear comes your way, have another thought that is more powerful -- a thought that is love.

  4. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez:

    It's the worst day, the worst nightmare for any police executive, this guy had a heart of gold, he treated his brothers and sisters in law enforcement as if they were just brothers and sisters. He thought of them before he thought of himself. He thought of the broader community before he thought of himself.

  5. Zach Johnson:

    I thought I had a good routine, I thought it was consistent, I thought it was repeatable, but it was anything but that, it was extremely inconsistent, it was not thought out, it did not allow me to play at my best nor did it give me confidence and consistency shot-to-shot.
