George s. patton

Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.
All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn't give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war.
Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
