Additional quotes by George S. Patton

So as through a glass, and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names, but always me. <p> And I see not in my blindness What the objects were I wrought, But as God rules o'er our bickerings It was through His will I fought. <p> So forever in the future, Shall I battle as of yore, Dying to be born a fighter, But to die again, once more.
