"Wars are not won by fighting battles;..." - Quote by George S Patton

“Plans must be simple and flexible....They must be made by the people who execute them.”

“Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.”

“Don't fall victim to what I call the ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome. You must be willing to fire.”

“I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.”

“Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat.”

“I set another goal, a reasonable, manageable goal that I could realistically achieve if I worked hard enough. I approached everything step by step.”

“To lose patience is to lose the battle.”

“The dragon is withered, His bones are now crumbled; His armour is shivered, His splendour is humbled! Though sword shall be rusted, And throne and crown perish With strength that men trusted And wealth that they cherish, Here grass is still growing, And leaves are yet swinging, The white water flowing, And elves are yet singing Come! Tra-la-la-lally! Come back to the valley!”

“War is not at all such a difficult art as people think. . . . In reality it would seem that he is vanquished who is afraid of his adversary and the the whole secret lies in that.”
