More quotes by George S. Patton
I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
George S. Patton
Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.
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
I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood.
George S. Patton
When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
George S. Patton
Close the playand keep the store open nights.
George S. Patton
A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.
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'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind.
George S. Patton
Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
In case of doubt, attack.
George S. Patton
All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.
George S. Patton
You fight like you train.
George S. Patton
An incessant change of means to attain unalterable ends is always going on we must take care not to let these sundry means undo eminence in the perspective of our minds for, since the beginning, there has been an unending cycle of them, and for each its advocates have claimed adoption as the sole solution of successful war.
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
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
George S. Patton
The soldier is the army.
George S. Patton
In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity.
George S. Patton
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
George S. Patton
