Said by Admiral Isoruko Yamato, to be specific. The architect of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and probably the most able military mind in Japan at the time. And he would have known. Yamamoto was a student at Harvard between wars and also served as Japan's military attache' in Washington for some time. He initially opposed the attack on pearl harbor and war with America, but his loyalty to his country dictated that he serve is emperor.

Another Yamamoto quote following the Pearl Harbor atteck:

"I fear that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant, and fill him with a terrible resolve".
A few years ago I tried to find where Yamamoto said that. I could not find it.

But it is a great quote!

And while researching the quote, I came across this depressing fact.

Japan logs record 150,000 new COVID-19 cases as Tokyo and Osaka both top 20,000.
