Jennifer - the exact attribution for the quote is fuzzy...and others have used the concept in their subsequent work (Stephen Covey comes to mind).
The idea is that the time spent preparing for a task can make the task easier and more efficient (or conversely, time not spent sharpening the axe leaves with a dull axe, which means it will take longer and be more inefficient in cutting down a tree). You're own idea of preparation for battle is an excellent example.
