More quotes by George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Take calculated risks.
George S. Patton

Wars are not won by fighting battles wars are won by choosing battles
George S. Patton
A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood.

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
When we land against the enemy, don't forget to hit him and hit him hard. When we meet the enemy we will kill him. We will show him no mercy.
George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.
