“In preparing for battle, I have found that planning is essential, but plans are useless. - Dwight D. Eisenhower”
“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”
“Many armies fail because they put all their emphasis into creating a plan that becomes useless ten minutes into the battle”
“Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential.”
“I could not comprehend God's plan but my understanding was not essential. My obedience was.”
“Plans are useful in the sense that they're proof that planning has taken place. The planning process forces people to think through the right issues. Bus as for the plans themselves they just don't work on the battle field”
