More quotes by George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things. Brave undisciplined men have no chance against the discipline and valour of other men. Have you seen a few policemen handle a crowd?
George S. Patton
...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.
George S. Patton
Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.
George S. Patton
The reason there are so many tree-lined boulevards in Paris is so the German army can march in the shade.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
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
Why is it that all battles are fought in the middle of the night, in downpouring rain, and at the corners of four different maps?
George S. Patton
Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition.
George S. Patton
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
George S. Patton
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.
George S. Patton
My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don't give the enemy time to dig one either.
George S. Patton
My men don't surrender. I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.
George S. Patton
Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
George S. Patton
Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.
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
I am sure that if every leader who goes into battle will promise himself that he will come out either a conqueror or a corpse, he is sure to win. There is no doubt of that. Defeat is not due to losses but to the destruction of the Soul of the leaders-the 'live to fight another day' doctrine.
George S. Patton
