If a man does his best, what else is there?
George S. Patton
Image
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
George S. Patton
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts

Death can be more exciting than life.

A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
Image
A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.

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.

Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
George S. Patton
Image
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.

The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is bearing arms.

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
Image
All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. Patton
Image
I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
George S. Patton
Image
Infantry must move forward to close with the enemy. It must shoot in order to move.... To halt under fire is folly. To halt under fire and not fire back is suicide. Officers must set the example
George S. Patton
Image
Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are and probably more so. They are not supermen
George S. Patton
Image
My men don't surrender. I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.
George S. Patton
Image
I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.
George S. Patton
Image
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.
