More quotes by 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
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
George S. Patton
We want to get the hell over there. The quicker we clean up this Goddamned mess, the quicker we can take a little jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
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
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
George S. Patton
Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.
George S. Patton
Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
George S. Patton
