More quotes by George S. Patton
Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
George S. Patton
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
George S. Patton
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.
George S. Patton
To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Muhammad and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have kept on developing.
George S. Patton
You fight like you train.
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
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
George S. Patton
In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity.
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.
George S. Patton
In forty hours I shall be in battle, with little information, and on the spur of the moment will have to make the most momentous decisions. But I believe that one's spirit enlarges with responsibility and that, with God's help, I shall make them, and make them right.
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
Close the playand keep the store open nights.
George S. Patton
War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
George S. Patton
The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
George S. Patton
Success in war depends upon the golden rule of war.
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
Achievers are resolute in their goals and driven by determination. Discouragement is temporary, obstacles are overcome, and doubt is defeated, yielding to personal victory. You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals. Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
George S. Patton
But between the plan and the operation, there is always an unknown. That unknown spells victory or defeat. ... Some people call it getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His part in everything. That's where prayer comes in.
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
