It seems that if a person has internalized the basic precepts of battle theory, such as "think quickly and act without hesitation," that person would scarcely be qualified for the intensive and thorough theoretical and practical thinking necessary for the highly complex job of civil engineering projects.”
― Arthur E. Morgan, Dams and Other Disasters: A Century of the Army Corps of Engineers in Civil Works
