Here's my 2 cents: The idea is the execution. An new idea is worthless. It's the refined ideas you arrive at after you've executed a prototype that are worth something. It's because those ideas can be tested and played with and refined. You can't refine a idea without building something first. So it's not that execution is everything and ideas are nothing - it's that truly good ideas are the result of iteration and execution.
