“It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen.”

“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.”
-Nolan Bushnell, founder Atari and Chuck-E-Cheese’s

“Education without application is just entertainment.”

“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.”

Norman Vincent Peale

“Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.”

“There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.”

John F. Kennedy
