More quotes by George S. Patton
Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.
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.
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
A civil servant is sometimes like a broken cannon - it won't work and you can't fire it.
George S. Patton
There is no such thing as a successful defense.
George S. Patton
In war the only sure defense is offense, and the efficiency of the offense depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it.
George S. Patton
Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
George S. Patton
Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tired, more hungry. Keep punching.
George S. Patton
Battle is an orgy of disorder.
George S. Patton
Success in war depends upon the golden rule of war.
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
Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men
George S. Patton
There's only one way for a professional soldier to die. That's from the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.
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
I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind.
George S. Patton
...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.
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
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton
Always do more than is required of you.
George S. Patton
It is rather interesting how you get used to death.
George S. Patton
