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
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

George S. Patton
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
You must do your damdest and win.
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
Never let the enemy pick the battle site.
George S. Patton
America loves a winner, and will not tolerate a loser, this is why America has never, and will never, lose a war.
George S. Patton
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
