When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
George S. Patton
Achievers are resolute in their goals and driven by determination. Discouragement is temporary, obstacles are overcome, and doubt is defeated, yielding to personal victory. You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals. Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
George S. Patton
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.

George S. Patton
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
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
To be a successful soldier, you must know history.
George S. Patton
Battle... brings out all that is best.
George S. Patton
