Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.
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
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.
George S. Patton
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Never in history has the navy landed an army at the planned time and place. But if you land us anywhere within 50 miles of Fedela and within 1 week of D-Day. I'll go ahead and win.
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
Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.
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
Close the playand keep the store open nights.
George S. Patton
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
Audacity, audacity, always audacity.
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
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.
George S. Patton
