More quotes by George S. Patton
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
George S. Patton
In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity.
George S. Patton
Wars are not won by fighting battles wars are won by choosing battles
George S. Patton
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?
George S. Patton
Battle... brings out all that is best.
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
In forty hours I shall be in battle, with little information, and on the spur of the moment will have to make the most momentous decisions. But I believe that one's spirit enlarges with responsibility and that, with God's help, I shall make them, and make them right.
George S. Patton
War is the supreme test of man in which he rises to heights never approached in any other activity.
George S. Patton
Always do more than is required of you.
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
Why is it that all battles are fought in the middle of the night, in downpouring rain, and at the corners of four different maps?
George S. Patton
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton
...It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.
George S. Patton
The god of war hates those who hesitate.
George S. Patton
Infantry must move forward to close with the enemy. It must shoot in order to move.... To halt under fire is folly. To halt under fire and not fire back is suicide. Officers must set the example
George S. Patton
Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
George S. Patton
In case of doubt, attack.
George S. Patton
