More quotes by George S. Patton
The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
George S. Patton
I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
George S. Patton
I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood.
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
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
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton

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
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
George S. Patton
I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.
George S. Patton
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tired, more hungry. Keep punching.
George S. Patton
There is no such thing as a successful defense.
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
Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition.
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks.
George S. Patton
Pressure makes diamonds
George S. Patton
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
George S. Patton
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
George S. Patton
