More quotes by George S. Patton
A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood.
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
Discipline can only be obtained when all the officers are imbued with the sense of their awful obligation to their men and to their country that they cannot tolerate negligence. Officers who fail to correct errors or to praise excellence are valueless in peace and dangerous misfits in war.
George S. Patton
Just drive down that road, until you get blown up
George S. Patton
By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.
George S. Patton
Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man.
George S. Patton
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.
George S. Patton
All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood.
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
Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
To conquer, we must destroy our enemies. We must not only die gallantly we must kill devastatingly. The faster and more effectively you kill, the longer you will live to enjoy the priceless fame of conquerors.
George S. Patton
I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!
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
You must do your damdest and win.
George S. Patton
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
George S. Patton
I read the Bible - every goddamn day.
George S. Patton
My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don't give the enemy time to dig one either.
George S. Patton
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
Pressure makes diamonds
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton
