George S. Patton Motivational Quotations

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

Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.

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

If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you'll be amazed at the results.

I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.

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

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

I don’t fear failure. I only fear the slowing up of the engine inside of me which is saying, ‘Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?

Fear kills more people than death.

Always do more than is required of you.

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

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

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired... You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going.
