America loves a winner, and will not tolerate a loser, this is why America has never, and will never, lose a war.
George S. PattonA real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood.
George S. PattonEach man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.
George S. PattonWe must guard against becoming so engrossed in the specific nature of the roots and bark of the trees of knowledge as to miss the meaning and grandeur of the forest they compose.
George S. PattonMoral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men
George S. PattonNow if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired... You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going.
