More quotes by George S. Patton
It is rather interesting how you get used to death.
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
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
Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
George S. Patton
If a man does his best, what else is there?
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
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
An incessant change of means to attain unalterable ends is always going on we must take care not to let these sundry means undo eminence in the perspective of our minds for, since the beginning, there has been an unending cycle of them, and for each its advocates have claimed adoption as the sole solution of successful war.
George S. Patton
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
George S. Patton
Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
But between the plan and the operation, there is always an unknown. That unknown spells victory or defeat. ... Some people call it getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His part in everything. That's where prayer comes in.
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
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
George S. Patton
Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of battle.
George S. Patton
Battle... brings out all that is best.
George S. Patton
All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. Patton
Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
George S. Patton
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
Just drive down that road, until you get blown up
George S. Patton
