Having a vision for what you want is not enough...Vision without execution is hallucination

“The injurious agent in cigarettes comes principally from the burning paper wrapper. The substance thereby formed is called "acrolein." It has a violent action on the nerve centers, producing degeneration of the cells of the brain, which is quite rapid among boys. Unlike most narcotics, this degeneration is permanent and uncontrollable. I employ no person who smokes cigarettes.”
“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”
“Ideas without execution are hallucinations.”

“Let those who want to save the world if you can get to see it clear and as a whole. Then any part you make will represent the whole if it's made truly. The thing to do is work and learn to make it.”
“If you don't think of the future, you won't have one.”
“Of several bodies, all equally large and equally distant, that which is most brightly illuminated will appear to the eye nearest and largest.”
More on Execution
“Brilliant men are often strikingly ineffectual. They fail to realize that the brilliant insight is not by itself achievement. They never have learned that insights become effectiveness only through hard systematic work.”
“I am aware of the talent I was gifted and had to execute against it. It is just being very self aware and betting on your best strength.”
“How had I not seen that there was nothing more important than an execution, and that when you come right down to it, it was the only thing a man could truly be interested in?”
