More quotes by George S. Patton
When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.
George S. Patton
Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
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
All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. Patton
If you go into a battle, it's better to win the first time.
George S. Patton
Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton

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

George S. Patton
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
In forty hours I shall be in battle, with little information, and on the spur of the moment will have to make the most momentous decisions. But I believe that one's spirit enlarges with responsibility and that, with God's help, I shall make them, and make them right.
George S. Patton
In the space of two days I had evolved two plans, wholly distinct, both of which were equally feasible. The point I am trying to bring out is that one does not plan and then try to make circumstances fit those plans. One tries to make plans fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
Never in history has the navy landed an army at the planned time and place. But if you land us anywhere within 50 miles of Fedela and within 1 week of D-Day. I'll go ahead and win.
George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.
George S. Patton
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton
