More quotes by 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
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
A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood.
George S. Patton
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
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
It is rather interesting how you get used to death.
George S. Patton
The most difficult thing about being humble is not being able to brag about it.
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
Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men
George S. Patton
Wars are not won by fighting battles wars are won by choosing battles
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
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
George S. Patton
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
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
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
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
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
George S. Patton
In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity.
George S. Patton
You fight like you train.
George S. Patton
