"Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle." ― George S. Patton Topic(s): History More From George S. Patton "If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened." "You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals." "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." More In History "Life moves fast. As much as you can learn from your history, you have to move forward."― Eddie Vedder "The three great elements of modern civilization, Gun powder, Printing, and the Protestant religion."― Thomas Carlyle "We all had to learn Southern accents. It wasn’t a big research show. With the ‘Wounded Knee’ project, I locked myself in my apartment with history books so I would know what we’re talking about."― Anna Paquin
