Dennis Crowley Quotes

Stop sketching and start building.

Acting on a good idea is better than just having a good idea.

Ideas won't keep; something must be done about them.

Genius is in the idea. Impact, however, comes from action!

An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.

Good ideas are a dime a dozen. It's what you do with them that counts.

I know it's easy to imagine, But it's easier to just do, See, if you can't do what you imagine, then what is imagination to you?

Ideas are a dime a dozen. People who execute them are not.

Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which has carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. Never has there been a scroll, even such as the one I hold, which so much as a penny or produced a single word of acclamation. Action, alone, is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which will nourish my success. I will act now.

When something has to be done, do it! In France we are full of good ideas, but we rarely put them into practice.

I've known people who had fantastic ideas, but who couldn't get the idea off the ground because they approached everything weakly. They thought that their ideas would somehow take off by themselves, or that just coming up with an idea was enough. Let me tell you something - it's not enough. It will never be enough. You have to put the idea into action. If you don't have the motivation and the enthusiasm, your great idea will simply sit on top of your desk or inside your head and go nowhere.

What good is inspiration if it's not backed up by action?

They spent days, nights, weeks, and years talking, never accepting the fact that, good or bad, an idea only exists when someone tries to put it into practice.

Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.
