More quotes by George S. Patton
Wars are not won by fighting battles wars are won by choosing battles
George S. Patton
I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!
George S. Patton
War is the supreme test of man in which he rises to heights never approached in any other activity.

Take calculated risks.
George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.
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
Those who live in fear die a thousand deaths.
George S. Patton
Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.
George S. Patton
My men don't surrender. I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.
George S. Patton
Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.
George S. Patton
A man must know his destiny. if he does not recognize it, then he is lost.
George S. Patton
Battle is an orgy of disorder.
George S. Patton
An incessant change of means to attain unalterable ends is always going on we must take care not to let these sundry means undo eminence in the perspective of our minds for, since the beginning, there has been an unending cycle of them, and for each its advocates have claimed adoption as the sole solution of successful war.
George S. Patton
War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula
George S. Patton
Death can be more exciting than life.
George S. Patton
Achievers are resolute in their goals and driven by determination. Discouragement is temporary, obstacles are overcome, and doubt is defeated, yielding to personal victory. You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals. Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
George S. Patton
Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts
George S. Patton
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
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
