More quotes by George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of battle.
George S. Patton
My men don't surrender. I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.
George S. Patton
Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition.

George S. Patton
Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tired, more hungry. Keep punching.
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
I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
George S. Patton
There is no such thing as a successful defense.
George S. Patton
I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.
George S. Patton
