More quotes by George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
George S. Patton
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.

Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
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
Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are and probably more so. They are not supermen
George S. Patton
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.
George S. Patton
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
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
When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
George S. Patton
Just drive down that road, until you get blown up
George S. Patton
The soldier is the army.
George S. Patton
