Strategy equals execution. All the great ideas and visions in the world are worthless if they can't be implemented rapidly and efficiently. Good leaders delegate and empower others liberally, but they pay attention to details, every day.

Colin Powell

Ideas are easy. Execution is everything. It takes a team to win.

John Doerr

Ideas are cheap. Ideas are easy. Ideas are common. Everybody has ideas. Ideas are highly, highly overvalued. Execution is all that matters.

Casey Neistat

A good idea is worthless without impeccable execution and a commitment to iterate.

Zach Klein

Ideas are easy. It's the execution of ideas that really separates the sheep from the goats.

Sue Grafton

Ideas don't make you rich. The correct execution of ideas does.

Felix Dennis

Good ideas have no value because the world already has too many of them. The market rewards execution, not ideas.

Scott Adams

Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.

William Blake

Ideas are cheap. I have more ideas now than I could ever write up. To my mind, it's the execution that is all-important.

George R. R. Martin

Don't be afraid to convince yourself that your business is incredible, but don't expect others to be convinced without solid data to back it up. Ideas can be a worth a lot, but they are usually not. Execution is everything.

Palmer Luckey

Did you loathe and detest the Bush administration? If so, you'd probably say its ideas were horrible and their execution worse. Did you not loathe and detest the Bush administration? In that case, you might say its ideas were pretty good - only the execution often left something to be desired.

Bret Stephens

If we are in Christ the whole basis of our goings is God, not conceptions of God, not ideas of God, but God Himself. We do not need any more ideas about God, the world is full of ideas about God, they are all worthless, because the ideas of God in anyone’s head are of no more use than our own ideas. What we need is a real God, not more ideas about Him.

Oswald Chambers

The essential thing is action. Action has three stages: the decision born of thought, the order or preparation for execution, and the execution itself. All three stages are governed by the will. The will is rooted in character, and for the man of action character is of more critical importance than intellect. Intellect without will is worthless, will without intellect is dangerous.
