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.

More quotes by George S. Patton
Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction.
George S. Patton
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
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
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
Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.
George S. Patton
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
George S. Patton
There is only one sort of discipline - PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.
George S. Patton
Pressure makes diamonds
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
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
George S. Patton
In case of doubt, attack.
George S. Patton
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
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
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
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.
George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
George S. Patton
I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind.
George S. Patton
War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
George S. Patton
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
