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
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
War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
George S. Patton
Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.
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
There is no such thing as a successful defense.
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton
Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. Always do more than is required of you. If a man has done his best, what else is there?
George S. Patton
My men don't surrender. I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.
George S. Patton
Close the playand keep the store open nights.
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
continue to advance until you run out of ammunition. Then, dig in.
George S. Patton
Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are and probably more so. They are not supermen
George S. Patton
You shouldn't underestimate an enemy, but it is just as fatal to overestimate him.
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
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
George S. Patton
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
Audacity, audacity, always audacity.
George S. Patton
Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.
George S. Patton
I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
George S. Patton
