More quotes by George S. Patton
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
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
Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.
George S. Patton
All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood.
George S. Patton
The god of war hates those who hesitate.
George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.
George S. Patton
By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.
George S. Patton
Never draw a gun on a man unless you intend to kill him. And believe me, if you do intend to kill him he will already know it. Then he will feel the cold breath of the tomb.
George S. Patton
Just drive down that road, until you get blown up
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
A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.
George S. Patton
You fight like you train.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
There's only one way for a professional soldier to die. That's from the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.
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
All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. Patton
Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.
George S. Patton
Achievers are resolute in their goals and driven by determination. Discouragement is temporary, obstacles are overcome, and doubt is defeated, yielding to personal victory. You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals. Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
George S. Patton
Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tired, more hungry. Keep punching.
George S. Patton
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
George S. Patton
