More quotes by George S. Patton
Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts
George S. Patton
I read the Bible - every goddamn day.
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
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.
George S. Patton
When we land against the enemy, don't forget to hit him and hit him hard. When we meet the enemy we will kill him. We will show him no mercy.
George S. Patton
In forty hours I shall be in battle, with little information, and on the spur of the moment will have to make the most momentous decisions. But I believe that one's spirit enlarges with responsibility and that, with God's help, I shall make them, and make them right.
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
There is no such thing as a successful defense.
George S. Patton
Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
George S. Patton
Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction.
George S. Patton
All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.
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
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
George S. Patton
