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

George S. Patton

Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.

Thomas A. Edison

Joseph Campbell

Zeus does not bring all men's plans to fulfillment.

Homer

When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary.

Thomas Paine

Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will themselves not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die.

Daniel H. Burnham

To be prepared is half the victory.

Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra

Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Napoleon Hill

Let your plans be dark and as impenetratable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

Sun Tzu

He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the maze of the most busy life. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidence, chaos will soon reign.

Victor Hugo

Planning to write is not writing. Outlining, researching, talking to people about what you're doing, none of that is writing. Writing is writing.

E. L. Doctorow

Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.

Alexander Hamilton

We're planning a series of speakers, including some geared to the pilot community and others more geared to the general population and aviation history.

Teresa Day

We've scared the leaders a lot so far. It's exciting. I got in on the ground floor of the planning and am enjoying that.

Bob Stiles

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

Gloria Steinem

The fact that it came up during strategic planning, we decided to research it further.

Diana Baltimore

We are putting our media planning and buying into review. It's part of our best-practice approach; we periodically review all of our agencies.

Peter Marino

All of the plans have assumed that people have cars and they speak English. If you forget the population in your planning, the population will ignore your plans.

Havidan Rodriguez

There is certainly a sense of urgency to fix everything now, but the planning has not been thorough for some of these schools.

Clara Hemphill

It's a long-term planning tool. It should not be considered an assessment of policies just passed.

Laurie Lachance

It's been crazy. I've got a new job, we're looking for a home in Vegas and, in the middle of all of this, we're planning a wedding in Indianapolis. But I'm not complaining. It's all good.

Carlos Diaz

We're planning to move where hopefully we can avoid a situation like this in the future.

Joe Riley

Most people think that when it's time to buy a car, they should immediately go to the dealerships to find what they want. In reality, there's a lot of planning that should be done first.

Donna Kane

Family planning is a matter of personal choice, which might differ according to economic and social conditions.

Sheikh Tantawi

We're planning on making that album. But besides that, it's a lot of fun.

Dominic Suchyta

We're planning on opening up two modular schools next year to use until the replacement schools can be built.

James Hoyle

We're planning on presenting some pictures, showing why it is being closed and what kind of condition it's in. It's in pretty bad shape, honestly, and it needs help and needs it soon.

Katy Renfroe

It went through the Planning Commission and made it to the board, but on the second reading it got disapproved. The developers met with some aldermen and got further guidance on the changes they should make.

Tom Marsh

We're not planning to air the New Orleans episode. Quite frankly, we just think it may look opportunistic.

Terry Connelly

We are planning to send out another 12 artificially bred ibis next month to get more experimental data.

Ding Haihua

The most important planning parameter involves taking a phased approach to the CMDB rather than an all-or-nothing cavalry charge up a hill lined with bayonets.

Dennis Drogseth

Katrina has paved the way to ethnic cleansing - Black removal, no matter how you look at it. We're planning for a huge mobilization to keep Katrina on the agenda.

Mtangulizi Sanyika

We don't know what his intent is one way or the other. Certainly any business has a necessity of planning for its own future. That's his business, so we have really no reaction to that one way or the other.

Fred Nation

Fortunately, we were not in the construction phase and were able to have the architects make significant changes ... to upgrade the foundation, for instance, ... It was all done in the planning phase.

Robert Seidman

The police are planning to transport them to Jakarta for further questioning.

Anton Bachrul Alam

Quite a lot of what we do before we adopt a building ordinance is to consider the way the building looks. City staff and the Planning and Zoning Board also pay attention.

Jim Jeffers

He said this is where he was planning to die.

Don Halvorsen

Newell needs some more years of training; this is far ahead of his goals and what we've been planning. He's going to get there. Maybe in 2010, maybe 2014, but he's going to get there.

Vidar Loefshus

Planning and developing areas where people have accessibility to services without having to depend on a public transportation system is a big need.

Barb Anderson

I believe that South Carolina is ahead of the curve in emergency planning, and that we are as prepared as our current level of funding allows.

Ron Osborne

Almost every family I meet with is unaware of all the sources of college money that may be available to them. They've either incorrectly filed the FAFSA form, or relied on the wrong person for college funding advice and planning.

Phil Goldstein

The advanced imaging and planning capabilities that this technology offers is enhancing how we perform neurosurgery here at Penn.

Sean Grady

She's saying the planning commission and the entire City Council are on the take. This is an example of her not understanding the process. It's just a flat-out lie.

Greg Bortolin

We were planning to build another hangar, but the cost of building materials has gone through the roof.

Johnny Thompson

Rugby didn't start planning early enough and cricket needs to learn from that.

David Davies

The almost four full quarters of approval process were put to good use in planning the integration of our operations by a team experienced in integrating merged companies.

Art Russell

For many districts who are planning a high school, it will be the only new high school they are going to see in their lifetime.

David M. Maroney

Our clients are looking at the gamut of planning issues, engineering issues, surveying, environmental planning and landscape architecture. We bill ourselves as a full-service consulting company.

Richard Callahan

I would expect an attack in the next six months. This is not just planning for possible military contingencies. There is real planning under way for carrying out a military strike against Iran.

Larry Johnson

We're planning on playing for a little bit longer.

Jamie Gutowski

New developments usually go through a planning commission or city council before they're approved.

What we are planning on doing is offering a special package called a family-friendly tier, to give families another option.

Tom Simmons

We've had a strong relationship with Austria for the last eight to 10 years, and they're planning enormous things next year, too.

Nancy Laturno Bojanic

I suspect people not planning to come back will not even care. It seems to me the electorate is going to be more upscale and more white than it was, but what the numbers are going to be, who knows?

Susan Howell

This much planning doesn't happen overnight. It takes time and dedication.

Pete Schmidt

We've had couples come and go, but we four are the mainstays. We do most of the planning and the work and everybody else fills in by bringing a dish.

Jim Rose

The school districts are treated as developers when we go through the municipal planning process. That sometimes creates some difficulty.

Mike Willis

If you're planning to tear down a historic home, the city will fight you. We're trying to preserve the charm.

Mark Rakowski

I would have liked to see it at least in a planning stage and what direction we were going.

Senga Allan

We're planning to get residential curbside organic collection to 90 percent in 2001.

Barry Friesen

Over time the city's planning affects us a lot. The city is trying to make plans and so are we. There are a lot of moving parts.

Richard Spies

We're planning big things. It will be as competitive as any casino anywhere.

Rick Carter

We're planning to have to take care of a significant number of people for three to five years, until somebody can give us some better information.

Brad Gair

The purpose of this meeting was to examine the communications and promotional plan for CWC and to see where there could be synergy between CWC planning and sponsor activity.

Marvia Roach

Martha will be the first one to come up out of the ground, and hopefully that will be later this fall. The planning committee has been great, and that has helped moving it along.

Mike O'dell

All the houses are flooded in my neighborhood because of poor planning.

Rachel Martin

I strongly feel that the planning system needs to be made to work for us.

Jim Knight

Developers want to give as little as possible because they don't want to be committed, plus they may not want their competitors to know what they are planning.

Jeremy Paul

Hopefully, it will never happen. But there's been a major emphasis in the planning process.

Dr. Matthew Cartter

Being a planning commission member is an important role because they make recommendations to the city council regarding planning and growth issues in the city.

Susan Price

Our integration planning since announcing the merger last October has gone exceptionally well, ... Upon receiving stockholder approval, we will be ready to start operating effectively as one company.

David J. O'reilly

We were planning to hold him down in the 20s. I told the kids that if he got in the 40s, we weren't going to win.

Thomas Boykin

Many people are not planning. Maybe they are saving some money, but how do they define what is enough. Most people would like to save more, so why aren't they saving more?

Roy Diliberto

At some point in the future, there may be a market, but it's not like that's anything we've really factored into our planning.

Chris Horner

We would prefer to wait to see what kind of celebration the city of county might be planning. That would more appropriate.

Joann Jenny

The board and I have made succession planning a priority. Well, it paid off!

Leonard Roberts

Bill's extensive management, planning and construction experience will be a great asset to the Clark during this time of growth. We are pleased he has joined our staff and look forward to his contributions.

Michael Conforti

I don?t know if the best location will be in parks or planning or open-space preservation. There will need to be more detailed discussions.

John Mikowychok

We're full up. Although there's been planning for growth, I'm not sure we've built enough. We really need this place for the bed space, as well as for transitioning inmates.

Howard Skolnik

In the process of planning this event, it became clear that we had to do more than get them in the street and make noise. It's going to be a missed opportunity if we don't do that.

Matt O'connor

I've been pretty frustrated with the reaction of (city) staff and the planning commission. Before I agree to build something, I think I ought to know what I'm going to build.

Robert Phipps

The idea is that it's not just the military that's going to be delivering the effect anymore. It's bringing in a lot more players. And, as a result, the planning becomes more complex.

Barbara Stephenson

The entire campus is involved with the planning and preparations for this event, not just us; it goes from the office and staff in recruiting and admissions, all the way to the ground workers.

Lisa Miller

Michelle and I ... were planning, at some point, to adopt and have our own kids. We were not bound by any existing family situation, and we saw we'd have an opportunity.

Joe Bowman

From a planning perspective, the community was cheated in having a longer amount of time to plan a response.

Mark Wallace

We're all going to have to chip in to fill that void. I definitely have to be more aggressive as far as scoring [with Curry gone], but a lot of the things I need to do I was planning on doing anyway this year.

Tyson Chandler

Members of P&Z went over this and there were residents at the P&Z meeting. There have been noise studies done. They have been giving this a lot of planning. With the fence and trees, the studies said there would probably be less noise from the center than there is now - from the highway.

Joe Jenkins

Those three in a row ... one-to-two-point matches and last-minute matches, those are heartbreakers for the team and those individuals who were planning on going to state.

Bo Roundy

Some are wanting classes for the 12-14 age group. We're planning to do a class after the first of the year for these kids. A lot of customers are also wanting to know more about certain products.

Kate Webster

Good planning, a bit of luck — we've dodged a bullet.

Ben Creagh

We can put the information into our space-planning program to make out what they have versus what they will need to purchase.

Greg Foster

We had many concerns while planning Monty Python's Flying Circus... we wanted to avoid being bracketed as being another offshoot.

Graham Chapman

Barnhill Condominiums is well along in the planning and development and the marketing. I have a very, very strong market acceptance of Barnhill. If the university really insists, I think I would have a lot of disappointed customers.

Kevin Curry

Modern disaster planning began in the 1950s, with hurricanes of all things, and every time something happens we learn a little -- but only a little. People, unfortunately, have short memories. The same things happen again and again and again.

Paul O'brien

Now it's almost the expectation. We're pretty much following the (regional planning commission's) projections.

Jim Moustis

Jon has the breadth and depth of background in energy matters that a candidate should have for appointment to the FERC. Additionally, he understands regional differences when it comes to transmission planning issues.

Richard Mcintire

Some type of planning and zoning will keep property values up and keep Bracken County beautiful.

Perry Poe

We've done a lot of them or we know someone who have done this. I do have friends who really do move that fast. They are, like, planning out wedding patterns within the first couple weeks (of dating someone). They're, like, 'This is the one.' Everybody is looking for The One.

Jeannie Long

We are in the process of planning the possibility of a benefit concert.

Yumi Oshima

[T]he food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.

Cornelia Otis Skinner

The parties have agreed that the planning of the infrastructure will be continued.

Irvin Khoza

That's the key. Nobody's planning on decreasing. It's an interesting market, definitely an employee market. Wages need to come up a little bit to attract talent.

Andy Katz

We're the backups to them [the NFL-contracted security companies]. We lead the operational planning, but we let them handle the security issues. The law-enforcement agencies handle the sweeps and make sure the location is free of any incidents.

James Tate

He used his brain and his back all the time. Mike's a very smart gardener. He'd also invested the most planning in what to see and do at the end of the day. He led us to the best po' boy in the French Quarter.

Bill Noble

It's better than we ever imagined. We've been planning for 18 months to come in here, and I think the end result is something I think the fans weren't prepared for, and I think the kids weren't prepared for the luxuries they're entitled to here at this new arena.

Troy Dannen

We need a plan. What's the plan? We don't have a plan. We need one. We need a master plan to fix traffic, water and crime problems. We need planning, planning, planning. I'm gonna make a plan, etc.

David Steele

Trying to re-create what was a big jumble created by 300 years of history is going to be the most interesting urban planning challenge of this century.

Kristina Ford

They approved the final development plan. We can put the construction bids out and start planning when the groundbreaking will begin. We are hoping in June.

John Jascoll

It's difficult to have visibility for planning in one place and to tie together all the events in the supply chain.

Chris O'connor

This is not smart planning.

Connie Williams

He's planning on playing for the Dolphins.

Leigh Steinberg

It really changed how we do things in sports. Certainly, nothing happened to preplan or expect what was going to happen that day, as opposed to today, when extreme logistics go into planning.

Mark Spitz

Detailed planning will follow if the forecast for success in program growth is positive.

Charles Groat

The government is planning to promote legitimate software use among enterprises and companies.

Wang Ziqiang

We're baffled by this judge's decision and we're planning to appeal.

Leeanne Mizer

With the great societal concerns about impacts on fisheries and other wildlife, its not likely we are going to see many new hydroelectric projects developed. We're not planning any.

Dave Kvamme

It's not for lack of planning or lack of ideas.

Ben Cassarino

The more time we've spent discussing it and planning for it and getting ready for it to happen, the more it means. It brings me peace in a way. I feel proud of him for his commitment, but that's the kind of person that Matt is, too.

Kristina Matarazzo

My own life planning has always been 10 years ahead. I knew when I was 13 that this was what I wanted to be. Right now I feel about nine months behind where I would have liked to be at age 46. Ten years from now, I'd like to be doing what I'm doing and collecting more interest.

Chubby Checker

In 2006 I would like to complete all planning for the event by July, so that we start to fine tune things well in advance of the event itself.

Mick Beddoes

We also know they'll be a big help in planning and promoting the Harlem Ambassador fundraising basketball game, which so many school kids and their families will attend and enjoy.

Lynn Montgomery

We are planning on one grade a year through the fifth grade.

Dennis Roberts

If I weren't there starting tomorrow, what does my family need over the next five years, 10 years, 15 years, and look at your savings from that standpoint. That's the kind of inflation planning you need to incorporate.

Linda Lanam

The planning committee for the grant project decided that the resident companies should be allowed to apply for special-project grants.

Robb Hankins

They give you standard advice about birth control. But at least in my experience, they never talked about family planning other than preventing pregnancy.

Beth Espy

We're planning to bring over 500,000 people onto the streets.

Yogesh Bhattarai

We are at the very early stages of planning and development. Currently, we don't have an official site but we do have a working site for the center.

Dick Runner

Clovis is such a big sports-oriented town. It's definitely something we're planning on year after year.

David Standifer

No-one gets an iron-clad guarantee of success. Certainly, factors like opportunity, luck and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old-fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance.

Mia Hamm

Selecting a site for possible nuclear generation expansion, first in North Carolina and later in Florida, is part of our planning process to ensure we have the energy our customers need in the future.

Bob Mcgehee

We never had the chance for us to go together, ... We were planning on going, and that happened. We didn't have him for a long time at all.

Takeo Spikes

I'm not planning on going this summer. I just don't want to go because somehow I just feel like my life is here right now.

Hanna Salonen

Unfortunately, in the planning we couldn't think of everything. We never anticipated a situation where there would be a fraternity house so out of date that it needed to be rebuilt.

Richard Talbott

The details and the process are in their court. But let me say that I am optimistic about the process. He's planning on returning.

Leigh Steinberg

Children tend to eat their own lunches and are less likely to swap if they are involved in the planning stages.

Tina Thompson

We've never been included in one minute of planning, even though it's required by federal law.

Carter Canada

There's so much growth going on and there's doesn't seem to be any planning.

Darrell Fox

This administration is doing things to create a fair and open process concerning planning and zoning issues. We will continue to mail (development notices) to the 300-foot limit.

David Donnelly

I went off to college planning to major in math or philosophy-- of course, both those ideas are really the same idea.

Frank Wilczek

He's sort of the Lance Armstrong of Nordic skiing. He doesn't leave anything to chance: equipment, training, planning for race day.

Trond Nystad

The focus right now is on public outreach, surveillance of both animals and humans, and planning with our hospital partners.

John Wiesman

We weren't game-planning it that way. (Vestaburg) was sagging inside and taking that away, so it opened up our outside shots and luckily for us they were falling.

Scott Pischea

It's incumbent on the magazine industry to work with agencies to find out what the ROI is from magazine planning schedules.

Andrew Green

I was planning on doing something, but I wanted to act like I've been in the end zone before.

Aundrae Allison

We can't jump over the elected officials to ask our (planning) staff to do something.

Jim Andrews

The vision of putting students first started with Bob in 1959, ... That same vision is guiding the decisions we?re making now in planning for the future.

Brian King

It was all he talked about - his plans for his mission while everyone (his age) was planning to go to college.

Darleen Simonsen

We are planning to double the exclusive Be retail outlets from the present 20.

Pradeep Bhandari

Is planning on spending these next weeks making sure those people come back.

Ron Sims

But there is a concern that GPSS, which is the largest government agency, doesn't have the guidance of a chief financial officer. They need someone to do that sort of financial management and planning to prepare for situations like this month's three pay periods.

Shawn Gumataotao

What we are planning on is to incorporate the program with the teachers we already have.

Jeff Roberts

I'm just overly saddened by this. We were going to have a meeting on Wednesday. We were planning for the future.

Leo Ostebo

We've been planning it this way. Next year I will do the race.

Robert Sorlie

We were planning on an advocacy campaign since Day One.

Ann Heavner

It?s interesting that astronomy can do this. And it?s great that there?s this ongoing interest in Ansel. We?re planning to go out and see it for curiosity?s sake.

George Matthew Adams

I was clear that we would be watching the flooding situation closely, and our Planning Board will make sure they deal with the drainage.

Ralph Esposito

Add to this to the sometimes over complicated legal systems of foreign countries, planning permission and language barriers, the whole process can turn into a living nightmare.

Jeremy Davies

We even have some schools planning field trips to Home Depot just to see the products they helped make.

Barry Brinster

We have absolutely got to be planning (for a new center). Our goal would be to build a comprehensive facility, one with a human services department.

Patrcia Mccarthy

I don't like cold weather and I am planning to spend January in Ohio. Figure that. But they are both good shows and we expect to draw a large number of people to both.

Rob Lynch

We were going to fix those things in our planning, ... We just ran out of time.

John Finn

When I saw that, I had been planning on issuing this for a while, so I thought now would be a good time to get the alert out while it's fresh on everybody's mind.

Mark Rice

In 90 percent of the cases, this would have gone to a runoff, ... We believed that all of the other candidates were planning for a runoff, but we wanted to get it in one shot.

Chris Turner

I would like to see a little more rationality in the schedule planning of the end-users.

Doug Hayden

For most retirees, that's probably going to be the single biggest component they need for retirement. But what we find is this is the one that's most frequently overlooked when people do their retirement planning.

Brad Kimler

We understand it is an important issue and that is why we are making sure to be very strategic and thorough in our planning.

Sean Kevelighan

Biological Research Associates was the primary partner in the conservation efforts. The other partners were the Genesis Group and Heidt and Associates. They were all involved in surveying, planning, engineering. It was a team effort.

Justin Conrad

I was just planning to make a good play.

Quinton Jones

Coke will be planning to do what it had planned to do before all the Quaker action started.

Manny Goldman

Our business environment is complex, and managing IT assets is as much a function of planning and budgeting as it is of location and ownership. In addition to telling us 'what' and 'where,' CA's Asset Management solution empowers us to more effectively plan and measure the financial impact of IT assets on our operations.

Al Porco

New York City is big and it's complex and there's tons of stuff to see and do, so planning is really, really key.

Karen Cure

We're talking about an attitude. Delayed gratification is there, planning, be able to give up something now to get something later.

Joe Hill

Career planning is an oxymoron, I find, but I am sort of trying to focus on doing something that's kind of mainstream.

Kevin Bacon

But regional planning needs to be improved when implementing the principle of reduction.

Chen Haoran

They were the two people came to the mind of the creator when planning voices.

Wanda Shelley

We are planning to set up a committee to offer resource help to those who may decide to take families into their own homes. That would be the goal of a steering committee.

Karen Smith

Those who voted for it are still on the planning board and City Council.

Randy Primas

In terms of attendance this year, it is slightly less than last year, a possible byproduct of the economy. But the enthusiasm of those planning to attend seems equal.

Christina Lieberman

They're as big a part of planning as we are and I regret that they didn't see it as we did.

John Bohn

I went crazy when he paid off the house so quickly - as a CFP, I thought of the deductions he'd lose by paying off the mortgage. He broke one of the first rules of financial planning.

Carrie Cole

I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead. [On his college registration experience].

Tom Selleck

We know his organization remains active, planning terrorist activity.

Michael Sheehan

It's a lot of planning. We've all pitched in to help.

Scott Archer

These are people specifically planning weddings, so it's a very targeted audience.

Tommy Vaughan

It has been difficult to predict whether pregnancy will be achieved for couples when different factors are at play. We designed this computational model to help the physician who is planning IVF/ICSI for patients. The physician may use the model to plan the best approach and counsel the patients appropriately.

Moshe Wald

The benefit of planning your vacation on the web is that you are going to save money, you're going to save time, and maybe best of all, you're going to be introduced to vacation options that you might never have thought of.

Diane Harris

We're going to start planning it two weeks after this one is over. Tom Glennon (director of the Georgia Children's Museum) has already come to me with the idea of a children's division, both films made by children and directed at children as an audience. We may even show them at the museum.

Tony Long

After the talks with the Europeans they know now that we haven't been planning to defeat Europe ... I think the talks (with the EU trio) will be resumed.

Ali Aghamohammadi

We are a city of four million people. Did we take care of everyone? Probably not. Are there homeless people with mental difficulties we couldn't help? Yes. We've made an effort to help. In our disaster planning do we cure the problem of homelessness? No.

Frank Michel

I had a lot of time to think about it, but didn't do a very good job planning for the move. If I had it to do all over again, I would do things a lot differently.

Joann Anderson

They are planning to offer a wide variety of boats, from personal watercraft up to a 38-foot luxury cruiser.

Rob Lynch
