I ran across some quotes from famous entrepreneurs. Here's a sampling:

“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.”
    -Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari & Chuck E. Cheese’s (Editor's note - Atari and Chuck E. Cheese - interesting combination)

“The key is to just get on the bike, and the key to getting on the bike… is to stop thinking about ‘there are a bunch of reasons I might fall off’ and just hop on and peddle the damned thing. You can pick up a map, a tire pump, and better footwear along the way.”
    -Dick Costolo, founder of Feedburner.com

“Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is.”
    -Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop

“Don’t ever let anyone tell you that something is too competitive. Once you subtract the people who don’t work very hard, or the people who aren’t as good as you, your competition shrinks dramatically.”
    -Maggie Mason, founder of Mighty Goods

“It doesn’t matter how many times you fail. It doesn’t matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, and neither should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because all that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.”
    -Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, co-founder of Broadcast.com, founder of HDNet

“The best reason to start an organization is to make meaning; to create a product or service to make the world a better place.”
     -Guy Kawasaki, venture capitalist, CEO of Garage Technology Ventures

And my personal favorite, both for the company he founded and the sentiment he expresses:

“One of the unique things we small companies have over the big guys is the ability to establish personal relationships. Big companies really can't do that. You read about effective organizations, learning organizations, lean and mean organizations, but small companies can be virtuous. We as small companies can have virtue because we as small companies are basically the embodiment of one or two people, and people can have virtue, while organizations really can't."

-Jim Koch, founder of Boston Beer Company

Go Badgers!
