Without execution, 'vision' is just another word for hallucination.

Mark V. Hurd

Vision w/o execution is just hallucination. You need the right combination of visionary + team that can execute

Walter Isaacson

It's not enough to have values without vision ; you want to be good, but you want to be good for something. On the other hand, vision without values can create a Hitler . An empowering mission statement deals with both character and competence; what you want to be and what you want to do in your life.

Stephen Covey

The difference between a vision and a hallucination is that other people can see the vision.

Marc Andreessen

You know what the difference between a vision and a hallucination is? They call it a vision when other people can see it.

Ben Horowitz

A vision without resources is an hallucination.

Thomas Friedman

There is a difference between having a vision and suffering from a hallucination.

Peter R. Scholtes

A vision, without a plan, is just a hallucination.

Will Rogers

You have sole ownership of your vision. And the Universe will give you what you want within your vision. What happens with most people is that they muddy their vision with “reality”. Their vision becomes full of not only what they want but what everybody else thinks about what they want, too. Your work is to clarify and purify your vision so that the vibration that you are offering can then be answered.

Esther Hicks

In the end, a vision without the ability to execute it is probably a hallucination.

Steve Case

We have to have a vision of the world we want to make in 100 years. And maybe when we have that vision, when we convince enough people that that is a realistic vision, and that the opposite vision is basically that if we don't do something in this 100 years, a hundred years from now this world is gonna be so destroyed, so raped and ravished that we won't HAVE much of a world to save.

Assata Shakur

Many times when people have a vision, they think in terms of a big vision - I want to take my city for Christ. But the problem with many pastors and this type of vision is this: they haven't developed the strategy to fulfill that vision. A pastor preaches a dream or vision to his/her people, they get excited for a week, a month, or a couple of months, but there is no strategy, planning, or process to fulfill that vision.
