Some Patton for your consideration

Via 37Signals, some General Patton quotes worth repeating:

“A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.”

“Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.”

“If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you’ll be amazed at the results.”

“Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.”

“If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.”

“Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.”

“Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.”

“There is no approved solution to any tactical situation.” [From the comments]

“The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That’s the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!”
