More quotes by George S. Patton
...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.
George S. Patton
War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula
George S. Patton
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
George S. Patton
Make your plans to fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
George S. Patton
Battle... brings out all that is best.
George S. Patton
Wars are not won by fighting battles wars are won by choosing battles
George S. Patton
Never in history has the navy landed an army at the planned time and place. But if you land us anywhere within 50 miles of Fedela and within 1 week of D-Day. I'll go ahead and win.
George S. Patton
In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity.
George S. Patton
It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duty by correcting small violations and in enforcing proper conduct are incapable of leading.
George S. Patton
When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
There is only one sort of discipline - PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.
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
Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
George S. Patton
Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?
George S. Patton
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
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
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.
George S. Patton
We must guard against becoming so engrossed in the specific nature of the roots and bark of the trees of knowledge as to miss the meaning and grandeur of the forest they compose.
George S. Patton
