Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.

Joel A. Barker

There are few who have at once thought and capacity for action. Thought expands, but lames; action animates, but narrows.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The vision must be realistic - it has to be based on clear distinctive competencies. Again, what would the world lose if you didn't exist? A vision is very powerful because it gives you a basis to judge every action you take. Every action should be viewed through the prism of whether it furthers the vision.

Robert S. Kaplan

The leader is the bell ringer, the trumpet blower, the drum beater, the vibration maker, and the vision caster… A great leader imparts the burden, inspires commitment, and sets the pace for achievement of God’s purpose.

Phil Pringle

Like a great athlete, we must have a very clear vision of what we want to accomplish before we make a move. Vision, in preparation for an action, is as important as the action itself.

Marianne Williamson

Thought expands, but paralyzes; action animates, but narrows.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A vision is not a vision unless it says yes to some ideas and no to others, inspires people and is a reason to get out of bed in the morning and come to work.

Gifford Pinchot

The same stimulus that animates men to action, will have a proportionate effect on juvenile minds.

Joseph Lancaster

But we have to understand why we do what we do, not just do what we do. Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.

Pinball Clemons

When your vision is powerful enough, everything else falls into place: how you live your life, your workouts, what friends you choose to hang out with, how you eat, what you do for fun. Vision is purpose, and when your purpose is clear, so are your life choices. Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith, there is no anxiety, no doubt - just absolute confidence.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

The only theology worth doing is that which inspires and transforms lives, that which empowers us to participate in creating, liberating, and blessing the world.

Carter Heyward

To come to be you must have a vision of Being, a Dream, a Purpose, a Principle. You will become what your vision is.

Peter Nivio Zarlenga

The first step toward creating an improved future is developing the ability to envision it. VISION will ignite the fire of passion that fuels our commitment to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to achieve excellence. Only VISION allows us to transform dreams of greatness into the reality of achievement through human action. VISION has no boundaries and knows no limits. Our VISION is what we become in life.
