A Quote by George S. Patton

Make your plans to fit the circumstances. — © George S. Patton
Make your plans to fit the circumstances.
In the space of two days I had evolved two plans, wholly distinct, both of which were equally feasible. The point I am trying to bring out is that one does not plan and then try to make circumstances fit those plans. One tries to make plans fit the circumstances.
Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.
Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances.
I've never guided my life. I've just been whipped along by the waves I'm sitting in. I don't make plans at all. Plans are what make God laugh. You can make plans, you can make so many plans, but they never go right, do they?
God's plans for your life far exceed the circumstances of your day.
Ask every politician and leader: What are your plans to end poverty? What are your plans to protect the climate? What are your plans to eliminate nuclear weapons? To answer these correctly is to bring love into action.
I try not to make plans. God always laughs at your plans.
Make big plans, but change your plans as time changes.
You can make plans but if the opposition plays well, then all your plans become worthless.
There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.
We're separated, and I regret to say that we just don't seem to hit it off. I don't know what Betty's plans are. Perhaps she plans a divorce. As far as I am concerned, that doesn't fit in with my scheme of things.
Remember, the fit of your outfit can make or break your look. Ensure the fit is perfect, and you will be just fine.
People talking about politics usually start from the ass end backwards in that they think you have a political agenda, and then you make your work fit that cookie cutter. It's the other way around. One works by simple observation, looking into things. It's usually called insight and out of that comes your view - not that you have the view first and then squash everything to make it fit. I'm not interested in cutting the feet off my characters or stretching them to make them fit my certain political view.
I try not to make plans. God always laughs at your plans. I’m going to keep the door open, and keep the page blank, and see what gets painted upon it.
To change your circumstances, first start thinking differently. Do not passively accept unsatisfactory circumstances, but form a picture in your mind of circumstances as they should be. Believe and succeed.
LOVE LETTERS TO YOURSELF This is taken from a love letter (a gentle reminder) I wrote to myself recently. Live in your joy today. Be authentic. Love yourself. First. Love others from your own abundance. Life Changes. Circumstances change. Sometimes you try to fit your old way of being into new circumstances rather than becoming new yourself. Embrace transformation as an opportunity. And keep on writing love letters to yourself.
