General George S. Patton died.

George S. Patton/Quotes

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

A good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week.

May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won’t.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.

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

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

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

If a man does his best, what else is there?

There are three types of mistakes; Those you learn from, those you suffer from, and those you don't survive.

"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."
-Bomber Harris
