More quotes by George S. Patton
Never let the enemy pick the battle site.
George S. Patton
An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.
George S. Patton
Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
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
To conquer, we must destroy our enemies. We must not only die gallantly we must kill devastatingly. The faster and more effectively you kill, the longer you will live to enjoy the priceless fame of conquerors.
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
George S. Patton
An incessant change of means to attain unalterable ends is always going on we must take care not to let these sundry means undo eminence in the perspective of our minds for, since the beginning, there has been an unending cycle of them, and for each its advocates have claimed adoption as the sole solution of successful war.
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
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
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
George S. Patton
Pressure makes diamonds
George S. Patton
The god of war hates those who hesitate.
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
Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man.
George S. Patton
Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men
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
In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity.
George S. Patton
War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula
George S. Patton
I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.
George S. Patton
