You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things. Brave undisciplined men have no chance against the discipline and valour of other men. Have you seen a few policemen handle a crowd?

More quotes by 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
Discipline can only be obtained when all the officers are imbued with the sense of their awful obligation to their men and to their country that they cannot tolerate negligence. Officers who fail to correct errors or to praise excellence are valueless in peace and dangerous misfits in war.
George S. Patton
Never let the enemy pick the battle site.
George S. Patton
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
George S. Patton
Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men
George S. Patton
Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.
George S. Patton
I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.
George S. Patton
In the space of two days I had evolved two plans, wholly distinct, both of which were equally feasible. The point I am trying to bring out is that one does not plan and then try to make circumstances fit those plans. One tries to make plans fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
In case of doubt, attack.
George S. Patton
Achievers are resolute in their goals and driven by determination. Discouragement is temporary, obstacles are overcome, and doubt is defeated, yielding to personal victory. You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals. Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
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
I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
George S. Patton
Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
George S. Patton
Never draw a gun on a man unless you intend to kill him. And believe me, if you do intend to kill him he will already know it. Then he will feel the cold breath of the tomb.
George S. Patton
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
George S. Patton
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
George S. Patton
You fight like you train.
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
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula
