More quotes by George S. Patton
There is no such thing as a successful defense.
George S. Patton
I wonder if I could have been here before as I drive up the Roman road the Theater seems familiar - perhaps I headed a legion up that same white road... I passed a chateau in ruins which I possibly helped escalade in the middle ages. There is no proof nor yet any denial. We were, We are, and we will be.
George S. Patton
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts
George S. Patton
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
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
Never in history has the navy landed an army at the planned time and place. But if you land us anywhere within 50 miles of Fedela and within 1 week of D-Day. I'll go ahead and win.
George S. Patton
I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.
George S. Patton
Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition.
George S. Patton
I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
George S. Patton
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
George S. Patton
The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
George S. Patton
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
