More quotes by George S. Patton
Just drive down that road, until you get blown up
George S. Patton
Never draw a gun on a man unless you intend to kill him. And believe me, if you do intend to kill him he will already know it. Then he will feel the cold breath of the tomb.
George S. Patton
...It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.
George S. Patton
I read the Bible - every goddamn day.

George S. Patton
To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Muhammad and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have kept on developing.
George S. Patton
But between the plan and the operation, there is always an unknown. That unknown spells victory or defeat. ... Some people call it getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His part in everything. That's where prayer comes in.
George S. Patton
The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is bearing arms.
George S. Patton
It is rather interesting how you get used to death.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
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
Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition.
George S. Patton
Those who live in fear die a thousand deaths.
George S. Patton
