More quotes by George S. Patton
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
George S. Patton
The more I see of Arabs the less I think of them. By having studied them a good deal I have found out the trouble. They are the mixture of all the bad races on earth, and they get worse from west to east, because the eastern ones have had more crosses.
George S. Patton
War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
George S. Patton
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.
George S. Patton
Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
George S. Patton
If you go into a battle, it's better to win the first time.
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
I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.
George S. Patton
War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula
George S. Patton
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
Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tired, more hungry. Keep punching.
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
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
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
All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood.
George S. Patton
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.
George S. Patton
You fight like you train.
George S. Patton
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
George S. Patton
