No plan survives first contact with the enemy.

No plan survives contact with the enemy

No business plan survives first contact with customers.

They say no plan survives first contact with implementation. I’d have to agree.

No battle was ever won according to plan, but no battle was ever won without one.. Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.

Never venture, never win!

The first casualty of any battle is the plan of attack.

When the survival strategy of a civilization is invalidated, in all of human history none have ever turned back from the brink.

No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

Pessimism never won any battle.

Wars are never fought for altruistic reasons.

In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.

The greatest enemy of a good plan is the dream of a perfect plan

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
