George S. Patton
Discipline can only be obtained when all the officers are imbued with the sense of their awful obligation to their men and to their country that they cannot tolerate negligence. Officers who fail to correct errors or to praise excellence are valueless in peace and dangerous misfits in war.
George S. Patton
Infantry must move forward to close with the enemy. It must shoot in order to move.... To halt under fire is folly. To halt under fire and not fire back is suicide. Officers must set the example
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Always do everything you ask of those you command.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
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
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
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
When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
George S. Patton
