George S. Patton Quotes

What I always keep in mind is that we'll take action on things that need to be done, promptly and without hesitation.

A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. Don't wait for an inspired ending to come to mind. Work your way to the ending and see what comes up.

Whatever we'll be forced to do later, we should be doing now.

Execute like there's no tomorrow, strategize like there will be.

Do it. Do it right. Do it right now.

Winners take imperfect action while losers are still perfecting the plan.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

The right man is the one who seizes the moment.

If you're not ready the moment things happen, then you're irrelevant, you might as well not go.

You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.

I'm impatient. I get twitchy. When I get that feeling I just go out and make something happen.

Never retreat. Never explain. Get it done and let them howl.

Either move or be moved.

Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.

I know what to do and I go and execute.

Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.

Action! Action! Action!

Better reap two days too soon than one day too late

These men are all talk; What is needed is action — action!

I've always had this incredible sense of urgency. I've always had this desire not to let things fester and to really seize the moment, because it's serendipity.

Some people just look at opportunities and say, 'Maybe something better might come along; let's wait and see.' But you don't wait. You just grab it and go after it.

If you really want to do something, go and do it; don't just talk about it.

Potential is just potential until you can pull it off, and you need to show up ready to exercise the plan in mind. I've always come from that place in everything I've ever done.
