More quotes by George S. Patton
Success in war depends upon the golden rule of war.
George S. Patton
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
George S. Patton
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
George S. Patton
The soldier is the army.
George S. Patton
Battle... brings out all that is best.
George S. Patton
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
George S. Patton
It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duty by correcting small violations and in enforcing proper conduct are incapable of leading.
George S. Patton
A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.
George S. Patton
Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men
George S. Patton
Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he's not, he's a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.
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
All of the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters either. Every single man in this Army plays a vital role. Don t ever let up. Don t ever think that your job is unimportant. Every man has a job to do and he must do it. Every man is a vital link in the great chain.
George S. Patton
Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
George S. Patton
The most difficult thing about being humble is not being able to brag about it.
George S. Patton
Never draw a gun on a man unless you intend to kill him. And believe me, if you do intend to kill him he will already know it. Then he will feel the cold breath of the tomb.
George S. Patton
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
continue to advance until you run out of ammunition. Then, dig in.
George S. Patton
Wars are not won by fighting battles wars are won by choosing battles
George S. Patton
Just drive down that road, until you get blown up
George S. Patton
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
George S. Patton
