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
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
Never in history has the navy landed an army at the planned time and place. But if you land us anywhere within 50 miles of Fedela and within 1 week of D-Day. I'll go ahead and win.
George S. Patton
All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.

Pressure makes diamonds
George S. Patton
I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind.
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
When there is fear of failure, there will be failure.
George S. Patton
