Words of wisdom on "Vision to action"

I do like a good quote. Always good to spice up a presentation. Great to use in meetings or workshops that are bogged down, when you can wow everyone with a few well chosen words of wisdom.

Here are a couple on a subject close to our heart, that we try to use on our brandgym projects: turning a great vision into tangible actions.

One you may have heard before, as its been used by a few people, but still a goodie:

"A vision without action is just a dream
    Action without vision just passes the time
      A vision with action can change the world"

                                            NELSON MANDELA

One that I hadn't heard before:

"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory.
Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. "

                                                                Sun Tzu

Like that one. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. He did have a way with words old Sun Tzu.
