[Dave Hause]

through George Patton, "A good plan today is better than a perfect plan
tomorrow."

I've been casting nets into the wide Web sea because I've always
heard Mark's version, with a slightly different wording,
attributed to seignior Gates -- something more like, "It doesn't
need to be perfect. It only needs to work. Ship it."
