An unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind. (Catherine the Great )
The imagination is the spur of delights... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise? (Catherine the Great )
How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination! In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours; not a single creature resists us, we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects which, in turn, we immolate. The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, we multiply the horror a hundredfold. (Catherine the Great )
Imagination gallops; judgment merely walks. (Catherine the Great )

Let your imagination release your imprisoned possibilities. (Catherine the Great )
The entrepreneur is essentially a visualizer and an actualizer. He can visualize something, and when visualizes it he sees exactly how to make it happen. (Catherine the Great )
Imagination... its limits are only those of the mind itself. (Catherine the Great )
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine; and at last you create what you will. (Catherine the Great )
The great instrument of moral good is the imagination. (Catherine the Great )
To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind. (Catherine the Great )
By visualizing your goals, you can get your subconscious to work toward making these mental pictures come true. (Catherine the Great )
Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in my shop. The inventions I have conceived in this way have always worked. In thirty years there has not been a single exception. My first electric motor, the vacuum wireless light, my turbine engine and many other devices have all been developed in exactly this way. (Catherine the Great )
I do not know how to distinguish between our waking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we imagine we are? (Catherine the Great )
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive. (Catherine the Great )
We can gradually grow into any condition we desire, provided we first make ourselves in habitual mental attitude the person who corresponds to those conditions. (Catherine the Great )
You cannot depend on your judgments when your imagination is out of focus. (Catherine the Great )
Imagination is the pontoon bridge making way for the timid feet of reason. (Catherine the Great )
If you clearly and vividly IMAGINE yourself in the first person doing, being, having the things and qualities you truly want... then you will be using positive imagination to begin a change to fulfilling that image. (Catherine the Great )
You must pre-live the future... not re-live the past... and savor the moment. (Catherine the Great )
Great living starts with a picture held in the imagination, of what you would like to do or be. (Catherine the Great )
It is important to rely on your imagination for your sense of humor and your memory for your truths. Not the other way around. (Catherine the Great )
Anyone who thinks the sky is the limit, has limited imagination. (Catherine the Great )
Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real. (Catherine the Great )
Perhaps in a book review it is not out of place to note that the safety of the state depends on cultivating the imagination. (Catherine the Great )
I believe that there never was a creator of a philosophical system who did not confess at the end of his life that he had wasted his time. It must be admitted that the inventors of the mechanical arts have been much more useful to men that the inventors of syllogisms. He who imagined a ship towers considerably above him who imagined innate ideas. (Catherine the Great )
