More quotes by George S. Patton
You must do your damdest and win.
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
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
There is no such thing as a successful defense.
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

I am convinced that much more emphasis should be placed on history. The purpose of history is to learn how human beings react when exposed to the danger of wounds or death.
George S. Patton
All of the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters either. Every single man in this Army plays a vital role. Don t ever let up. Don t ever think that your job is unimportant. Every man has a job to do and he must do it. Every man is a vital link in the great chain.
George S. Patton
If I could have three wishes, one would be to take an '88 and shove that barrel up Hitler's ass so that cocksucker can cry like the little god-damned girl he is. And hell, after that, I wouldn't need two more wishes.
George S. Patton
Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle... Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war.
George S. Patton
Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction.
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
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
George S. Patton
