George S. Patton

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

All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.

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

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.

Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.

There is only one sort of discipline, perfect discipline.

Battle is an orgy of disorder.

You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.

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!

If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.

A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood.

Always do everything you ask of those you command.

If a man does his best, what else is there?

Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.

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

Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.

Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.

If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you'll be amazed at the results.

Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.

Better to fight for something than live for nothing.
