More From George S. Patton
- "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."
- "Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets."
- "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."
