GENERAL GEORGE S. PATTON, JR. QUOTATIONS :

"A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next
week."

"A good solution applied with vigor now is better than a perfect solution
applied ten minutes later."

"America loves a winner, and will not tolerate a loser, this is why America
has never, and will never, lose a war."

"A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood."

"By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great."

"Do everything you ask of those you command."

"Do more than is required of you."

"Fixed fortifications are monuments to man's stupidity."

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

"I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and
tails."

"I am a soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight."

"If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."

"If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself."

"In case of doubt, attack."

"It's the unconquerable soul of man, not the nature of the weapon he uses,
that insures victory."

"Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way. "

"Live for something rather than die for nothing."

"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't."

"Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent
characteristic in men."

"Never let the enemy pick the battle site."

"No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair."

"Say what you mean and mean what you say."

"Success is how you bounce on the bottom."

"The leader must be an actor."

"The soldier is the army."

"There is only one type of discipline, perfect discipline."

"War is simple, direct, and ruthless."

"Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men."

"You're never beaten until you admit it."

"You shouldn't underestimate an enemy, but it is just as fatal to
overestimate him."

"Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and
hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tire, more hungry. Keep punching."

"In landing operations, retreat is impossible, to surrender is as ignoble as
it is foolish. above all else remember that we as attackers have the
initiative, we know exactly what we are going to do, while the enemy is
ignorant of our intentions and can only parry our blows. We must retain this
tremendous advantage by always attacking rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, and
without rest."

"An Army is a team; lives, sleeps, eats, fights as a team. This individual
heroic stuff is a lot of crap."

"War is the supreme test of man in which he rises to heights never
approached in any other activity."

"No sane man is unafraid in battle, but discipline produces in him a form of
vicarious courage."

"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."

"In war the only sure defense is offense, and the efficiency of the offense
depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it."

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

"Wars might be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the
spirit of the men who leads that gains the victory."

". many, who should know better, think that wars can be decided by soulless
machines, rather than by the blood and anguish of brave men."

"Tanks are new and special weapon-newer than, as special, and certainly as
valuable as the airplane."

"An incessant change of means to attain unalterable ends is always going on;
we must take care not to let these sundry means undue eminence in the
perspective of our minds; for, since the beginning, there has been an
unending cycle of them, and for each its advocates have claimed adoption as
the sole solution of successful war."

"Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets."

"The obvious thing for the cavalryman to do is to accept the fighting
machine as a partner, and prepare to meet more fully the demands of future
warfare."

"Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too
little."

I can see George C. Scott performing those sayings! I loved Patton.

Those who have never read Patton's famous speech to his troops should do so.
Anyone have a link to a copy? It makes you swell with pride!

To have a few good leaders like that again would be a breath of fresh air.

Rich

Thanks Oscar, they were definitely worth reading.

it's primarily the army/military/war sayings that are his, and not all of
those
