More quotes by George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
George S. Patton
The more I see of Arabs the less I think of them. By having studied them a good deal I have found out the trouble. They are the mixture of all the bad races on earth, and they get worse from west to east, because the eastern ones have had more crosses.
George S. Patton
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
George S. Patton
Never draw a gun on a man unless you intend to kill him. And believe me, if you do intend to kill him he will already know it. Then he will feel the cold breath of the tomb.
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Those who live in fear die a thousand deaths.
George S. Patton
If I could have three wishes, one would be to take an '88 and shove that barrel up Hitler's ass so that cocksucker can cry like the little god-damned girl he is. And hell, after that, I wouldn't need two more wishes.
George S. Patton
It is rather interesting how you get used to death.
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
If a man does his best, what else is there?
George S. Patton
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
George S. Patton
