More quotes by 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
I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!
George S. Patton
If a man does his best, what else is there?
George S. Patton
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
George S. Patton
A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.
George S. Patton
All of the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters either. Every single man in this Army plays a vital role. Don t ever let up. Don t ever think that your job is unimportant. Every man has a job to do and he must do it. Every man is a vital link in the great chain.
George S. Patton
Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
I am sure that if every leader who goes into battle will promise himself that he will come out either a conqueror or a corpse, he is sure to win. There is no doubt of that. Defeat is not due to losses but to the destruction of the Soul of the leaders-the 'live to fight another day' doctrine.
George S. Patton
In war the only sure defense is offense, and the efficiency of the offense depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it.
George S. Patton
continue to advance until you run out of ammunition. Then, dig in.
George S. Patton
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
George S. Patton
There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.
George S. Patton
When there is fear of failure, there will be failure.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man.
George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
George S. Patton
A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton
Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?
George S. Patton
