More quotes by George S. Patton

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
Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.
George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.

George S. Patton
Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
George S. Patton
Battle is an orgy of disorder.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.

Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men
George S. Patton
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
George S. Patton
You shouldn't underestimate an enemy, but it is just as fatal to overestimate him.
George S. Patton
The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
George S. Patton
