Dreaming is necessary but not sufficient for great accomplishments. This reminds me of a great line I ran into somewhere: "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." EDITED to add: ah, through the magic of the Web I discover that this quote is from Thoreau. I've corrected my misquotation.

One of my prof's during B-school but it slightly less elegantly but it always stuck with me: Ideas are a dime a dozen. Execution is the only thing that matters.

  I think the Thoreau quote is closer to an antidote than an analog of your quote.
