More quotes by George S. Patton
Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle... Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war.
George S. Patton
The soldier is the army.
George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.
George S. Patton
When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
George S. Patton
We must guard against becoming so engrossed in the specific nature of the roots and bark of the trees of knowledge as to miss the meaning and grandeur of the forest they compose.
George S. Patton
Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. Always do more than is required of you. If a man has done his best, what else is there?
George S. Patton
All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood.
George S. Patton
The god of war hates those who hesitate.
George S. Patton
A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.
George S. Patton
Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction.
George S. Patton
You fight like you train.
George S. Patton
In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity.
George S. Patton
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks.
George S. Patton
I read the Bible - every goddamn day.
George S. Patton
Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
In the space of two days I had evolved two plans, wholly distinct, both of which were equally feasible. The point I am trying to bring out is that one does not plan and then try to make circumstances fit those plans. One tries to make plans fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
George S. Patton
Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
George S. Patton
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
George S. Patton
