More quotes by George S. Patton

George S. Patton

A civil servant is sometimes like a broken cannon - it won't work and you can't fire it.
George S. Patton
To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Muhammad and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have kept on developing.
George S. Patton
continue to advance until you run out of ammunition. Then, dig in.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
