More quotes by George S. Patton

George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction.

George S. Patton
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
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.

If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
