Famous George S. Patton Quotes

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

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

“Success is how high you bounce when you hit 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.”
