George S. Patton
Why is it that all battles are fought in the middle of the night, in downpouring rain, and at the corners of four different maps?
George S. Patton
You shouldn't underestimate an enemy, but it is just as fatal to overestimate him.
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

George S. Patton
To be a successful soldier, you must know history.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he's not, he's a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.
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
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
George S. Patton
Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
