Additional quotes by George S. Patton Jr.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.

The only way anyone ever won a war, is to make the enemy hurt so bad that he can't stand it any more.
... George S. Patton

The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
