Dwight Eisenhower, speaking to the National Defense Executive Reserve Conference in Washington D.C. on November 14, 1957. "I tell this story to illustrate the truth of the statement I heard long ago in the Army:
Plans are worthless, but planning is everything."
Austrian Army Field Marshal Ludwig Ritter von Benedek: "No plan survives the first contact with the enemy.”
