More quotes by George S. Patton
War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
...It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.
George S. Patton
Audacity, audacity, always audacity.
George S. Patton
Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man.
George S. Patton
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
George S. Patton
...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.
George S. Patton
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
George S. Patton
Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.
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
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
George S. Patton
Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition.
George S. Patton
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
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
We want to get the hell over there. The quicker we clean up this Goddamned mess, the quicker we can take a little jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit.
George S. Patton
The god of war hates those who hesitate.
George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
George S. Patton
