When someone asks me; What can you do against a tank? I say, "They have to get out sometime."

Your quote reflects the thinking of someone far wiser and more experienced in guerilla operations. Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia, when he was a mere leader in the resistance against the Germans in WW2, was asked "How will you fight the Germans, with their new tanks?" He responded:

"We will wait for them to get out of their new tanks to take a pi$$, and then shoot them with our old rifles."

Thanks for the compliment but, I probably heard it from someone, who heard it from someone, who posted it on FreeRepublic, who got it from Marshall Tito.

When the German Kaiser asked in 1912 what the quarter of a million Swiss militiamen would do if invaded by a half million German soldiers, a Swiss replied: shoot twice and go home.
