More quotes by George S. Patton
There is only one sort of discipline - PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.
George S. Patton
All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. Patton
It is rather interesting how you get used to death.
George S. Patton
Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
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
When there is fear of failure, there will be failure.
George S. Patton
War is the supreme test of man in which he rises to heights never approached in any other activity.
George S. Patton
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.

A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
George S. Patton
In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity.
George S. Patton
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
George S. Patton
Always do everything you ask of those you command.
George S. Patton
To conquer, we must destroy our enemies. We must not only die gallantly we must kill devastatingly. The faster and more effectively you kill, the longer you will live to enjoy the priceless fame of conquerors.
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks.
George S. Patton
Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts
George S. Patton
Discipline can only be obtained when all the officers are imbued with the sense of their awful obligation to their men and to their country that they cannot tolerate negligence. Officers who fail to correct errors or to praise excellence are valueless in peace and dangerous misfits in war.
George S. Patton
America loves a winner, and will not tolerate a loser, this is why America has never, and will never, lose a 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
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
George S. Patton
