Famous quotes containing the word strategy:

    “Our strategy in going after this army is very simple. First we are going to cut it off, and then we are going to kill it.”
    —Colin Powell (b. 1937)

    “That is the way of youth and life in general: that we do not understand the strategy until after the campaign is over.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
    —Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
