Respectfully,

You are right, now that I think on it. Well. Patton was certainly a student of military history and that list comes from, mostly, his personal writings and the biographies where he is attributed to saying these things. V-man

" All your bases are belonging to us" sounds like something Yogi would have said. I like Yogisms. "You gotta be a good, bad ball hitter" (Yogi's strike zone went from 2 feet over his head to, in the dirt 2 feet in front of the plate.)

Here are a couple of good ones I like; "All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened. The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fear, to carry on." -General George S. Patton
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning,that's as good as they're going to feel all day."
- Frank Sinatra Reality is an illusion that occurs due to the lack of alcohol. (dunno who to give credit to on this one) Then of course there's the one I still use, from the late, great Douglas Adams.

My favorite sentence of all time came from the bible, and I guess it's attributed to God. "I am"

Friendly Fire, isn't! -------------------- One thing I learned in the army: when the pin is pulled, Mr Grenade is not our friend. -------------------------- If a private tells you he's done something, go check it. If a lieutenant tells you he's done it, go do it. ------------------------- How do you spell relief? E-N-D-E-X (end of exercise, after a long field problem/deployment)

There's only two things I can't stand:
1. A drunk man when I'm sober
2. A sober man when I'm drunk
