More quotes by 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
Infantry must move forward to close with the enemy. It must shoot in order to move.... To halt under fire is folly. To halt under fire and not fire back is suicide. Officers must set the example
George S. Patton
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
George S. Patton
When there is fear of failure, there will be failure.
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

Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton

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
Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are and probably more so. They are not supermen
George S. Patton
Close the playand keep the store open nights.
George S. Patton
Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
George S. Patton
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
George S. Patton
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.
George S. Patton
