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
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
I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
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
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
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton

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
War is the supreme test of man in which he rises to heights never approached in any other activity.
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
Never let the enemy pick the battle site.
George S. Patton
There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.
George S. Patton
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
George S. Patton
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names - but always me.
George S. Patton
Battle is an orgy of disorder.
George S. Patton
