Additional quotes by George S. Patton

Of all the many talks I had in Washington, none gave me such pleasure as that with you. There were two reasons for this. In the first place, you are about my oldest friend.

Berlin gave me the blues.
We have destroyed what could have been a good race and we [are] about to replace them with Mongolian savages.
And all Europe will be communist.
It's said that for the first week after they took it, all women who ran were shot and those who did not were raped.
