Patton

"You want to know why this outfit got the hell kicked out of it? A blind man could spot it. They don't act like soldiers; they don't look like soldiers; why should they be expected to fight like soldiers?"

"There's only one proper way for a professional soldier to die: the last bullet of the last battle of the last war."

"This is a barracks; it's not a bordello."

"You can afford to be an optimist. I can't."

"Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost, and will never lose a war... because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans."

"In ten days I'll have a war on with those Communist bastards, and I'll make it look like their fault."

"God, how I hate the twentieth century."

Soldier: "Where ya goin', General?"
Patton: "Berlin. I'm going to personally shoot that paper-hangin' sonofabitch!"
