More quotes by George S. Patton
When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
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
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
Make your plans to fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is bearing arms.
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
It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duty by correcting small violations and in enforcing proper conduct are incapable of leading.
George S. Patton
Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
George S. Patton
Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.
George S. Patton
Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man.
George S. Patton
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
George S. Patton
Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of battle.
George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
George S. Patton
Pressure makes diamonds
George S. Patton
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
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
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
The most difficult thing about being humble is not being able to brag about it.
George S. Patton
