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
War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
George S. Patton
...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.
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
continue to advance until you run out of ammunition. Then, dig in.
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
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. Patton
I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!
George S. Patton
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
I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind.
George S. Patton
Why is it that all battles are fought in the middle of the night, in downpouring rain, and at the corners of four different maps?
George S. Patton
Success in war depends upon the golden rule of war.
George S. Patton
Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.
George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
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
I wonder if I could have been here before as I drive up the Roman road the Theater seems familiar - perhaps I headed a legion up that same white road... I passed a chateau in ruins which I possibly helped escalade in the middle ages. There is no proof nor yet any denial. We were, We are, and we will be.
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
In the space of two days I had evolved two plans, wholly distinct, both of which were equally feasible. The point I am trying to bring out is that one does not plan and then try to make circumstances fit those plans. One tries to make plans fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
The god of war hates those who hesitate.
George S. Patton
