More quotes by 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
Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
George S. Patton
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
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
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
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
There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.
George S. Patton
Always do more than is required of you.
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
War is the supreme test of man in which he rises to heights never approached in any other activity.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
Make your plans to fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
George S. Patton
Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.
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
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
George S. Patton
Wars are not won by fighting battles wars are won by choosing battles
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
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
