More quotes by George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things. Brave undisciplined men have no chance against the discipline and valour of other men. Have you seen a few policemen handle a crowd?
George S. Patton
Success in war depends upon the golden rule of war.
George S. Patton
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
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
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

George S. Patton
You fight like you train.

Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
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
Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts
George S. Patton
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names - but always me.
George S. Patton
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
George S. Patton
Wars are not won by fighting battles wars are won by choosing battles
George S. Patton
I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!
George S. Patton
You must do your damdest and win.
George S. Patton
Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.
George S. Patton
Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition.
George S. Patton
I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind.
George S. Patton
An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.
