More quotes by George S. Patton

George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Never draw a gun on a man unless you intend to kill him. And believe me, if you do intend to kill him he will already know it. Then he will feel the cold breath of the tomb.
George S. Patton
Those who live in fear die a thousand deaths.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men
George S. Patton
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
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
