I would like to take up the gauntlet and continue with the Patton quotes.

"Take this 5 gallon gasoline can to Montgomery with this message: "Although I am sadly short of gasoline myself, I know your admiration for our equipment and supplies and I can spare you this 5 gallons. It will more than enough to take you as far as you probably will advance in the next 2 days."

Hello, Frank, Greetings from Pennsylvania!!
I like this quote, sir, it expresses the Patton attitude that I so greatly enjoy...Thanks for "taking up the gauntlet", I can never get enough of George's stuff...I haven't posted any newbies for a while, didn't want to flood the forum page again...will post some additional "wisdoms" soon...Take care and God Bless!

Sincerely,
Gunny

I was thinking of twice to 3x a week. I have over a hundred quotes so this should last a while.

Frank...
If you want to expand your library of George's wisdoms, check out the book, "The Unknown Patton", by Charles M. Province, president of the Patton Historical Society...In chapter thirteen there is an abundance of George to be absorbed...41 pages of quotes!!!
