Today I wanted to offer a belated post in honor of our nation's birth. In going through my folder of Challenge Dividend topics, I found a list of quotes from General George Patton. For all of his faults, Patton was an archetypal example of a person who rose to greatness because of an extreme challenge.
Patton's quotes below are here to honor such few great leaders - and the many, many courageous soldiers that followed them to earn and protect our liberty. Enjoy...
"If a man does his best, what else is there?"
"Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory"
"Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom"
"Courage is fear holding on a minute longer"
"Pressure makes diamonds"
"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity"
"You're never beaten until you admit it"
"It is only by doing things that others have not that one can advance"
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who have died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived"
"You must do your damnedest and win"
