"In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planing is indispensable." - Dwight D. Eisenhower in "Six Crises" (1962) by Richard M. Nixon.

"No plan survives contact with the enemy." - Field Marshal Helmuth Karl Berhnhard Graf von Moltke the Elder in "The Swordbearers: Studies in Supreme Command in the First World War" (1963) by Cornelli Barnett.

"If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!" - Benjamin Franklin.

"Marines are trained to improvise, adapt and overcome any obstacle in whatever situation they are needed." - www.marines.com

Bottom line? Be sure to plan, exercise, revise, and when the balloon goes up, ready to be very adaptable on the run.
