Today, on a conference call, someone said, "it's always darkest before the dawn."

I couldn't help myself. I said, "No it isn't. It's darkest in the middle of the night, equidistant between sunset and sunrise." That got quite a few laughs.

"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

No. The two terms are mutually exclusive.

Not necessarily. You would know that failing to plan for something, that requires said planning, will inevitably lead to failure (or at best, poor results). Thus, by making the conscious decision to forgo planning: you are, indeed, planning to fail. Or you're stupid. Either way: not good.

planning to fail.

Then you planned. That invalidates the first part of the statement. "If you fail to plan..."

If you failed because you decided to go stuff your puss with Big Macs instead, then you made a choice not to do anything. That's not planning, that's inaction.

Now you're just being pedantic.
