Planning Quotations to Motivate Your Academic Planning Year

 Here's some motivation, some word salad to get your semester into gear with:

 “Bad planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part” - Proverb

“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

“Failing to plan is planning to fail” - Proverb

“Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now” - Alan Lakein

“Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning.” - Thomas Alva Edison

“Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.” - Peter F. Drucker

“When planning for a year, plant corn. When planning for a decade, plant trees. When planning for life, train and educate people.” - Chinese Proverb

“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” - Dwight David Eisenhower

“If anything is certain, it is that change is certain. The world we are planning for today will not exist in this form tomorrow.” - Philip Crosby
