Good lines: on getting things done

    "A vision without a task is but a dream, a task without a vision is drudgery, a vision and a task is the hope of the world."

    An inscription (c. 1730) in a Sussex church, quoted in Getting Things Done: How to Achieve Stress-free Productivity by David Allen (which itself was recommended by the highly productive Natalie, and by Peter Jones in How to Do Everything and Be Happy).
