More quotes by George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Make your plans to fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction.
George S. Patton

George S. Patton

George S. Patton
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.

George S. Patton
