More quotes by George S. Patton
When we land against the enemy, don't forget to hit him and hit him hard. When we meet the enemy we will kill him. We will show him no mercy.
George S. Patton

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

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
You fight like you train.
George S. Patton
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.
George S. Patton
But between the plan and the operation, there is always an unknown. That unknown spells victory or defeat. ... Some people call it getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His part in everything. That's where prayer comes in.
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
There is no such thing as a successful defense.
George S. Patton
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.
George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
