Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
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
To be a successful soldier, you must know history.
George S. Patton
