It either came from Rumsfeld or Cheney apropos the invasion of Iraq and it amounted to saying that if you make a plan that includes the contingency of failure, then failure is what you get. I tried tracking it down using google, but could not get the wording close enough to hit it. Can anyone here track it down.
I think I’m remembering the same quote, but it was about the plan not having a planned victory condition.
The title made me think OP was looking for price rates on insurance premiums.

There Is No Good Excuse for Failing to Have a Contingency Plan
Is it this one?
The tenor of the quote was that we don’t make plans in case of failure for if you plan for failure is what you get. I would like to use the quote, but I will just use the basic idea.
