More quotes by George S. Patton
In forty hours I shall be in battle, with little information, and on the spur of the moment will have to make the most momentous decisions. But I believe that one's spirit enlarges with responsibility and that, with God's help, I shall make them, and make them right.
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
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
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
George S. Patton
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names - but always me.
George S. Patton
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
George S. Patton
I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind.
George S. Patton
If a man does his best, what else is there?
George S. Patton
Close the playand keep the store open nights.
George S. Patton
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.
George S. Patton
