user3774: Many years ago I read (in a Russian book) a saying

Strategy is creating true values; tactics is refuting the false ones.

which the book attributed to Emmanuel Lasker.
Does anybody know where Lasker (if it was him indeed) say that?
PS: I wish I remember what book was that.

user27187: I suppose you meant this one:

"By positional play a master tries to prove and exploit true values,
whereas by combinations he seeks to refute false values".

Most likely published in Lasker's Chess Manual (which is a great book btw).
