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.

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.
