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

"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.
