If you go into a battle, it's better to win the first time.
George S. Patton
But between the plan and the operation, there is always an unknown. That unknown spells victory or defeat. ... Some people call it getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His part in everything. That's where prayer comes in.
George S. Patton
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
George S. Patton
