My men don't surrender. I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
George S. Patton
There's only one way for a professional soldier to die. That's from the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks.
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
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
George S. Patton
When we land against the enemy, don't forget to hit him and hit him hard. When we meet the enemy we will kill him. We will show him no mercy.
George S. Patton
War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula
George S. Patton
The soldier is the army.
George S. Patton
I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.
George S. Patton
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
George S. Patton
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
George S. Patton
Those who live in fear die a thousand deaths.
George S. Patton
To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Muhammad and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have kept on developing.
George S. Patton
Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
George S. Patton
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
George S. Patton
In the space of two days I had evolved two plans, wholly distinct, both of which were equally feasible. The point I am trying to bring out is that one does not plan and then try to make circumstances fit those plans. One tries to make plans fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
Never let the enemy pick the battle site.
George S. Patton
I am sure that if every leader who goes into battle will promise himself that he will come out either a conqueror or a corpse, he is sure to win. There is no doubt of that. Defeat is not due to losses but to the destruction of the Soul of the leaders-the 'live to fight another day' doctrine.
George S. Patton
My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don't give the enemy time to dig one either.
George S. Patton
