More quotes by George S. Patton
Battle is an orgy of disorder.
George S. Patton
The more I see of Arabs the less I think of them. By having studied them a good deal I have found out the trouble. They are the mixture of all the bad races on earth, and they get worse from west to east, because the eastern ones have had more crosses.
George S. Patton
When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
George S. Patton
War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula
George S. Patton
A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.
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
Make your plans to fit the circumstances.
George S. Patton
In forty hours I shall be in battle, with little information, and on the spur of the moment will have to make the most momentous decisions. But I believe that one's spirit enlarges with responsibility and that, with God's help, I shall make them, and make them right.
George S. Patton
Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
George S. Patton
You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.
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
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
George S. Patton
An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.
George S. Patton
By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.
George S. Patton
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
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.
George S. Patton
Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man.
George S. Patton
The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is bearing arms.
George S. Patton
