Great Work Quote 79 “You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one…”
You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one.
I don’t believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation
which we can’t possibly foresee now.
~ Harry S. Truman
