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

1. Tim Berners-Lee:

   It was the academic community who wired up their universities so it was put together by smart, well-meaning people who thought it was a good idea.

2. Donald Trump:

   We have to have our Republicans either stick together or let me just do it by myself. I’ll do very well, a lot of people thought I should do that anyway, but I'll just do it very nicely by myself.

3. Jeffrey Flocken:

   The thought that the only way we can come up with to save the species is to kill them -- that, I would say, we are in a situation where there's a paucity of imaginative thinking. instead of killing it, they can be moved to a different area, be used to bring in photo tourism or eco-tourism -- something that doesn't kill the animal. People pay good money to go to Africa to see species like rhinos, and instead of just killing one for a quick monetary gain for a vainglorious American, it can be moved around to a different area if it is a problem with the herd.

   I thought it was my mom’s friends because sometimes they pray and they start dancing, so I get up from my bed and I start walking over to my door.

Stop resisting!’.

5. Adel al-Jubeir:
