More quotes by 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
If you go into a battle, it's better to win the first time.
George S. Patton
continue to advance until you run out of ammunition. Then, dig in.
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
George S. Patton
I am sure that if every leader who goes into battle will promise himself that he will come out either a conqueror or a corpse, he is sure to win. There is no doubt of that. Defeat is not due to losses but to the destruction of the Soul of the leaders-the 'live to fight another day' doctrine.
George S. Patton
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
George S. Patton
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
George S. Patton
All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.
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
Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of battle.
George S. Patton
I wonder if I could have been here before as I drive up the Roman road the Theater seems familiar - perhaps I headed a legion up that same white road... I passed a chateau in ruins which I possibly helped escalade in the middle ages. There is no proof nor yet any denial. We were, We are, and we will be.
George S. Patton
The god of war hates those who hesitate.
George S. Patton
Make your plans to fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!
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
Wars are not won by fighting battles wars are won by choosing battles
George S. Patton
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
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
