assistance in identifying originator of quote

I think this is just one of those sayings that was never attributed to one specific person.

I think so too.

I have also heard another version of it:
"Amateurs talk tactics, dilettantes talk strategy, and professionals
talk logistics."
 
Origin of amateurs talk tactics, professionals...

I have always understood the quote to be one of those timeless things that can't be attributed to any single person, but I have also seen it rendered as "amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics and true professional also study intelligence" (That's my MI plug for the week)
