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

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of taking action instead of simply relying on ideas. Merely having thoughts or concepts is not enough unless they are put into practice. It reminds individuals that in order to bring about change or achieve goals, it is necessary to take tangible steps towards implementation. Sitting on ideas without taking action will not lead to progress or success. Actions have the power to turn ideas into reality and make a meaningful difference in the world.
