George S. Patton Quotes

"Wars are not won by fighting battles; wars are won by choosing battles""It is better to fight for something than to live for nothing""Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results""If a man has done his best, he has done enough""Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier""By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great""No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair""The leader must be an actor""Never let the enemy pick the battle site""Do more than is required of you""You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals""Live for something rather than die for nothing""If everyone is thinking alike, then someone isn't thinking.""Never stop until you have gained the top or a grave.""It is the unconquerable soul of man and not the nature of the weapon he uses that ensures victory.""Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.""A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood""Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash ""War is the supreme test of man in which he rises to heights never approached in any other activity ""Do everything you ask of those you command "
