More quotes by George S. Patton
In forty hours I shall be in battle, with little information, and on the spur of the moment will have to make the most momentous decisions. But I believe that one's spirit enlarges with responsibility and that, with God's help, I shall make them, and make them right.
George S. Patton
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
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
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
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
Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are and probably more so. They are not supermen
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
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
To be a successful soldier, you must know history.
George S. Patton
Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. Always do more than is required of you. If a man has done his best, what else is there?
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
Success in war depends upon the golden rule of war.
George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.
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
Pressure makes diamonds
George S. Patton
Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?
George S. Patton
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names - but always me.
George S. Patton
