More quotes by George S. Patton

George S. Patton
A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.
George S. Patton
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
George S. Patton
Battle... brings out all that is best.
George S. Patton
Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
