More quotes by George S. Patton
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he's not, he's a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.
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
Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.

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
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
George S. Patton
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
George S. Patton
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
