More quotes by George S. Patton

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

When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
George S. Patton
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
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
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

George S. Patton
Infantry must move forward to close with the enemy. It must shoot in order to move.... To halt under fire is folly. To halt under fire and not fire back is suicide. Officers must set the example
George S. Patton
Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction.
George S. Patton
To conquer, we must destroy our enemies. We must not only die gallantly we must kill devastatingly. The faster and more effectively you kill, the longer you will live to enjoy the priceless fame of conquerors.
George S. Patton
Never draw a gun on a man unless you intend to kill him. And believe me, if you do intend to kill him he will already know it. Then he will feel the cold breath of the tomb.
George S. Patton
I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!
George S. Patton
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
George S. Patton
War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula
George S. Patton
Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.
George S. Patton
