If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.
George S. Patton
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
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
It is rather interesting how you get used to death.
George S. Patton
Make your plans to fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton

Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
George S. Patton
Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
George S. Patton
You shouldn't underestimate an enemy, but it is just as fatal to overestimate him.
George S. Patton
All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood.
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
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
George S. Patton
Those who live in fear die a thousand deaths.
George S. Patton
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names - but always me.
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
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
George S. Patton
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
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
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.
George S. Patton
