More quotes by George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
George S. Patton
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
George S. Patton
An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.
George S. Patton
Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
George S. Patton
All of the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters either. Every single man in this Army plays a vital role. Don t ever let up. Don t ever think that your job is unimportant. Every man has a job to do and he must do it. Every man is a vital link in the great chain.
George S. Patton
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
George S. Patton
It is rather interesting how you get used to death.
George S. Patton
A civil servant is sometimes like a broken cannon - it won't work and you can't fire it.
George S. Patton
War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
George S. Patton
Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of battle.
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
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things. Brave undisciplined men have no chance against the discipline and valour of other men. Have you seen a few policemen handle a crowd?
George S. Patton
The god of war hates those who hesitate.
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.
George S. Patton
There is only one sort of discipline - PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.
George S. Patton
To be a successful soldier, you must know history.
George S. Patton
Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.
George S. Patton
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
