"Untutored courage is useless in the face..." - Quote by George S Patton

“Many, who should know better, think that wars can be decided by soulless machines, rather than by the blood and anguish of brave men.”

“A leader is a man who can adapt principles to circumstances.”

“Unless you do your best, the day will come when, tired and hungry, you will halt just short of the goal you were ordered to reach, and by halting you will make useless the efforts and deaths of thousands.”

“The greatest artists like Dylan, Picasso and Newton risked failure. And if we want to be great, we've got to risk it, too.”

“The fact is that liberty, in any true sense, is a concept that lies quite beyond the reach of the inferior man's mind. And no wonder, for genuine liberty demands of its votaries a quality he lacks completely, and that is courage. The man who loves it must be willing to fight for it; blood, said Jefferson, is its natural manure. Liberty means self-reliance, it means resolution, it means the capacity for doing without . . . the average man doesn't want to be free. He wants to be safe.”

“For weeks past he had been making ready for this moment, and it had never crossed his mind that anything would be needed except courage. The actual writing would be easy. All he had to do was to transfer to paper the interminable restless monologue that had been running inside his head, literally for years.”

“Long distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.”

“I was the first one in the gym, and the last one to leave.”

“The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.”
