More quotes by George S. Patton
All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood.
George S. Patton
...It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.
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
When there is fear of failure, there will be failure.
George S. Patton
If you go into a battle, it's better to win the first time.

A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.
George S. Patton
Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
George S. Patton
There is only one sort of discipline - PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.
George S. Patton
In war the only sure defense is offense, and the efficiency of the offense depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it.
George S. Patton
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
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
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
When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
George S. Patton
The reason there are so many tree-lined boulevards in Paris is so the German army can march in the shade.
George S. Patton
Discipline can only be obtained when all the officers are imbued with the sense of their awful obligation to their men and to their country that they cannot tolerate negligence. Officers who fail to correct errors or to praise excellence are valueless in peace and dangerous misfits in war.
George S. Patton
