More quotes by George S. Patton

George S. Patton
War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
George S. Patton
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.
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
Why is it that all battles are fought in the middle of the night, in downpouring rain, and at the corners of four different maps?
