“[A]s military history reveals, a bad plan is often better than no plan, especially if the people on the other side think it’s a good plan.”

“A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.”

“A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed at some indefinite time in the future.”

“Hannah: What's your plan?Claire: Go get himHannah: Honey, that is not a plan. That's what we in the military call an objective.”

“If what you are called to feels less than extraordinary, there is a tendency to think, 'Well, the Lord has big plans for me later.' And you wait patiently until he decides to reveal that master plan. But what if his plan for you is right where you are? Are you missing it because you are looking for something 'more' extraordinary?”
