10 Quotes by George S. Patton

1: “You can’t run an army without profanity”

2: “Ask them if they want me to give it back.”
-After being told not to march on Messina, already having captured it
3: “Rommel, you magnificent bastard!  I read your book!”
-Upon defeating Erwin Rommel’s forces in North Africa
4: “Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are, and probably more so.  They are not supermen.”
5: “A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood.”
6: “Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.”
7: “There are four hundred neatly marked graves somewhere in Sicily. All because one man went to sleep on the job. But they are German graves, because we caught the bastard asleep before they did.”
8: “A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.”
9: “Just drive down that road until you get blown up.”
-Instructions to reconnaissance troops
10: “May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.”

There are many more, but I said 10!

This here is a collection of quotes by U.S. General George Patton. I know few of you care for Gen. Patton, but this is a start for a possible series of quotes by people (existing or otherwise), many of which you do care for. Tell me what you think of this one and I'll take the advice for other ones!

If there was one man that Hitler feared, it would be Patton. The guy was insane... he stopped his entire army's advance towards Berlin to pee in the Rhine River. Even in World War I, when the trenches were being bombed by aircraft he would jump out of them and fire his pistol at them. He was mad, but he was freaking awesome for it. :XD:

here's a fun fact: Patton's first campaign was to go find Pancho Villa. He ended up capturing Villa's second-in-command and returned to camp with the guy tied to the hood of his jeep

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