More quotes by George S. Patton
I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind.
George S. Patton
Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?
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
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
The soldier is the army.
George S. Patton
The most difficult thing about being humble is not being able to brag about it.
George S. Patton
Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts
George S. Patton
My men don't surrender. I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.
George S. Patton
Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle... Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war.
George S. Patton
I read the Bible - every goddamn day.
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
It is rather interesting how you get used to death.
George S. Patton
A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood.
George S. Patton
Battle... brings out all that is best.
George S. Patton
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
George S. Patton
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
George S. Patton
We must guard against becoming so engrossed in the specific nature of the roots and bark of the trees of knowledge as to miss the meaning and grandeur of the forest they compose.
George S. Patton
Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are and probably more so. They are not supermen
George S. Patton
You fight like you train.
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton
