"Have taken Trier with two divisions. What..." - Quote by George S Patton

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

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

“Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.”

“The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.”

“Champagne! In victory, one deserves it; in defeat one needs it.”

“It's the extra effort after you have done your best that creates victory.”

“The end and object of conquest is to avoid doing the same thing as the conquered.”

“The object of war is victory, the object of victory is conquest, and the object of conquest is occupation.”

“Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it.”
