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.

Fear kills more people than death.

Never in history has the navy landed an army at the planned time and place. But if you land us anywhere within 50 miles of Fedela and within 1 week of D-Day. I'll go ahead and win.

I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed! Gen.

There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.

A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn't give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war.

The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!

The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

To be a successful soldier you must know history. . . . What you must know is how man reacts. Weapons change but man who uses them changes not at all. To win battles you do not beat weapons - you beat the soul of man of the enemy man.

Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.

Do your duty as you see it, and damn the consequences.

Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.

Go forward until the last round is fired and the last drop of gas is expended...then go forward on foot!

War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula

Success demands a high level of logistical and organizational competence.

Make your plans to fit the circumstances.

I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind.

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.
