"There is a time to take counsel..." - Quote by George S Patton

“Success in war depends upon the golden rule of war.”

“My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don't give the enemy time to dig one either.”

“By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.”

“Put together a seaman, soldier and airman and what do you get? The sum of all fears.”

“Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear; only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life; love harmonies it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”

“Fear is choosing the safe course”

“Toughest decision was early in my presidency when I ordered 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan. As somebody who had run to end a large troop presence overseas.”

“To be constantly changing one's plans isn't decision at all-it's indecision.”

“The next thing to be said about what long-range planning is not, is that it does not deal with future decisions. It deals with the futurity of present decisions. Decisions exist only in the present. The question that faces the long-range planner is not what we should do tomorrow.”
