More quotes by George S. Patton
A civil servant is sometimes like a broken cannon - it won't work and you can't fire it.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
The more I see of Arabs the less I think of them. By having studied them a good deal I have found out the trouble. They are the mixture of all the bad races on earth, and they get worse from west to east, because the eastern ones have had more crosses.
George S. Patton
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
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
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
George S. Patton
Always do more than is required of you.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood.
George S. Patton
All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. Patton
You shouldn't underestimate an enemy, but it is just as fatal to overestimate him.
George S. Patton
If you go into a battle, it's better to win the first time.
George S. Patton
You fight like you train.
George S. Patton
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.
George S. Patton
