George S. Patton

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

I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood.

There is no proof nor yet any denial. We were, We are, and we will be.

My flanks are something for the enemy to worry about, not me. Before he finds out where my flanks are, I'll be cutting the bastard's throat.

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

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

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

Through the travail of the ages,
Midst the pomp and toil of war,
Have I fought and strove and perished
Countless times upon this star.

So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.
