A real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood.

Death can be more exciting than life.

The most difficult thing about being humble is not being able to brag about it.

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

A man must know his destiny.

From time to time there will be some complaints that we are pushing our people too hard. I don't give a good Goddamn about such complaints. I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood. The harder we push, the more Germans we will kill. The more Germans we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer casualties. I want you all to remember that.

There is no such thing as luck, merely opportunity meeting preparedness. George S. Patton Jr.
