Sir, I am not a brave man...The truth is, I am an utter craven coward. I have never been within the sound of gunshot or in sight of battle in my whole life that I wasn't so scared that I had sweat in the palms of my hands.
George S. PattonIn 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.
George S. PattonMany, who should know better, think that wars can be decided by soulless machines, rather than by the blood and anguish of brave men.
George S. PattonWhen I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty.
