Quotes by George S. Patton

If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.

You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.

I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!

There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.

Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
