More quotes by George S. Patton
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
George S. Patton
If you go into a battle, it's better to win the first time.
George S. Patton
Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. Always do more than is required of you. If a man has done his best, what else is there?
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
I wonder if I could have been here before as I drive up the Roman road the Theater seems familiar - perhaps I headed a legion up that same white road... I passed a chateau in ruins which I possibly helped escalade in the middle ages. There is no proof nor yet any denial. We were, We are, and we will be.
George S. Patton
continue to advance until you run out of ammunition. Then, dig in.
George S. Patton
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
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
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
George S. Patton
The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is bearing arms.
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
If I could have three wishes, one would be to take an '88 and shove that barrel up Hitler's ass so that cocksucker can cry like the little god-damned girl he is. And hell, after that, I wouldn't need two more wishes.
George S. Patton
Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man.
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
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
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
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
George S. Patton
By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.
George S. Patton
There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.
