More quotes by 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
I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
George S. Patton
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duty by correcting small violations and in enforcing proper conduct are incapable of leading.
George S. Patton
Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. Always do more than is required of you. If a man has done his best, what else is there?
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
Never let the enemy pick the battle site.
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
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
George S. Patton
In case of doubt, attack.
George S. Patton
We must guard against becoming so engrossed in the specific nature of the roots and bark of the trees of knowledge as to miss the meaning and grandeur of the forest they compose.
George S. Patton
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
George S. Patton
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
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
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
By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.
George S. Patton
I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
George S. Patton
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
George S. Patton
