There's this famous observation that I totally believe: Great startup ideas are the ones that lie in the intersection of the Venn diagram of 'is a good idea' and 'looks like a bad idea.' So you want most people to think it's a bad idea and thus not compete with you until you get giant. But for it to secretly be good.

Sam Altman

Sometimes even hearing a bad idea is a great way to get to a good idea.

Charlie Day

The really good idea is always traceable back quite a long way, often to a not very good idea which sparked off another idea that was only slightly better, which somebody else misunderstood in such a way that they then said something which was really rather interesting.

John Cleese

Whether or not regime change is a good idea or a bad idea. I don't think because I think the regime change was a bad idea it means that Hussein was necessarily a good idea.

Rand Paul

My children are 12, 12, 8, and 7, which is bad idea, bad idea, bad idea, bad idea, for mom going inside.

Amazon thrived because it implemented the online bookstore idea better than any of its early rivals did, not because it was the only company to have the idea or the first company to have the idea. It continues to grow only because it keeps trying to improve on the details of the idea and the way it puts it into practise.

Max McKeown

We should invest in people not ideas. A good idea is often destroyed by bad people and good people can always make a bad idea better.

Simon Sinek

I have one very basic rule when it comes to "good ideas". A good idea is not an idea that solves a problem cleanly. A good idea is an idea that solves several things at the same time. The mark of good coding is not that the program does what you want, it's that it also does something that you didn't start out wanting.

Linus Torvalds

Even a bad idea executed is better than a good idea undone.

Paul Arden

No one knows what's a good idea or a bad idea until you try it.

Marc Randolph

The only proper way to eliminate bad habits is to replace them with good ones.

Jerome Hines

It was a very bad idea. It was a terrible idea. It was the worst idea he had ever heard. It was irresistible.

Cassandra Clare

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Swami Vivekananda

Why do humans never do as they're told? Someone should replace you all with robots. No, on second though, they shouldn't, bad idea.

Jonathan Morris

You can make an idea spread for good but you can also make an idea spread for bad and the power to make an idea spread, memetics, you know which now people talk about memes.
