More quotes by George S. Patton
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
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
I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
George S. Patton
An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
In case of doubt, attack.
George S. Patton
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood.
George S. Patton
Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.
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
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
