George S. Patton
  • If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.

  • You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.

  • I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.

  • Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

  • The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
