That quote sounds just like something Winston Churchill is credited for saying. I am not sure how one does planning without plans so I think Dwight means that plans must include contingencies and adapt to changing conditions and failures along the way. Here are few other great quotes about planning.
“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, writer and pioneering aviator
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States
“If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.” Yogi Berra, former New York Yankees catcher
“Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.” Peter F. Drucker, author and educator
“Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential.” Winston Churchill, former British Prime Minister
