George S. Patton

“In case of doubt, attack.”

“A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood.”

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

“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.”

“Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.”

“Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.”

“Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.”

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.”

“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.”

“I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.”

“A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.”

“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”

“Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.”

“Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.”

“Pressure makes diamonds.”

“Live for something rather than die for nothing.”

“Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.”

“Better to fight for something than live for nothing.”

“Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.”

“Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.”
