Knowing Patton, not personally mind you but intellectually, he probably said: "Blood saves sweat".

pak40,
Hmmm....well a google search of...

"A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood."

...yields about a zillion responses all saying Patton said it with that wording. Perhaps he was paraphrasing Felix.

Well, my two cents, I have seen that quote attributed to Patton, Rommel, Napoleon, and Pershing in my time.
