Something one of my Marine friends heard in the military

The following were all GEN George Patton:
"Fixed fortifications are monuments to man's stupidity."
"Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy."
"I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails."
"I am a soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight."
"If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."
"If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself."
"In case of doubt, attack."
"It's the unconquerable soul of man, not the nature of the weapon he uses, that insures victory."
"Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way. "
And my favorite Patton quote:
"Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets."
"The services in wartime are fit only for desperadoes, but in peace are only fit for fools."
