More quotes by 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
The soldier is the army.
George S. Patton
You must do your damdest and win.
George S. Patton
War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
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?
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
A civil servant is sometimes like a broken cannon - it won't work and you can't fire it.
George S. Patton
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
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
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 do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
George S. Patton
Just drive down that road, until you get blown up
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
You fight like you train.
George S. Patton
I read the Bible - every goddamn day.
George S. Patton
Never draw a gun on a man unless you intend to kill him. And believe me, if you do intend to kill him he will already know it. Then he will feel the cold breath of the tomb.
George S. Patton
We want to get the hell over there. The quicker we clean up this Goddamned mess, the quicker we can take a little jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit.
George S. Patton
In war the only sure defense is offense, and the efficiency of the offense depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it.
George S. Patton
