More quotes by 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
Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.
George S. Patton
The soldier is the army.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton
The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is bearing arms.
George S. Patton

You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.
George S. Patton
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.
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
There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.
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
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
Always do everything you ask of those you command.
George S. Patton
Battle... brings out all that is best.
George S. Patton
Infantry must move forward to close with the enemy. It must shoot in order to move.... To halt under fire is folly. To halt under fire and not fire back is suicide. Officers must set the example
George S. Patton
Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition.
George S. Patton
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
George S. Patton
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
George S. Patton
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duty by correcting small violations and in enforcing proper conduct are incapable of leading.
George S. Patton
