George S. Patton

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
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
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
When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.

When there is fear of failure, there will be failure.
George S. Patton
