More quotes by George S. Patton
It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duty by correcting small violations and in enforcing proper conduct are incapable of leading.
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
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
continue to advance until you run out of ammunition. Then, dig in.
George S. Patton
Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction.
George S. Patton
I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!
George S. Patton
Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?

George S. Patton
I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood.
George S. Patton
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
You fight like you train.
George S. Patton
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
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
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
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
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
George S. Patton
There's only one way for a professional soldier to die. That's from the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.
George S. Patton
