More quotes by George S. Patton
I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
George S. Patton
If you go into a battle, it's better to win the first time.
George S. Patton
Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
George S. Patton
Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he's not, he's a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.
George S. Patton
I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.
George S. Patton
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
George S. Patton
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
George S. Patton
I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
George S. Patton
I am convinced that much more emphasis should be placed on history. The purpose of history is to learn how human beings react when exposed to the danger of wounds or death.
George S. Patton
All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
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
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
I read the Bible - every goddamn day.
George S. Patton
Always do everything you ask of those you command.
George S. Patton
When there is fear of failure, there will be failure.
George S. Patton
All of the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters either. Every single man in this Army plays a vital role. Don t ever let up. Don t ever think that your job is unimportant. Every man has a job to do and he must do it. Every man is a vital link in the great chain.
George S. Patton
I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!
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
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
George S. Patton
