    The Greatest Happiness is to scatter your enemy and drive him before you. To see his cities reduced to ashes. To see those who love him shrouded and in tears. And to gather to your bosom his wives and daughters.......? Any one?

It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office."

    I don't know the original author of the phrase, but I've heard it in training courses and once i think it was in a truck ad on TV.

    Default Patton Said.....

    From
    The Unknown Patton
    Charles M. Province
    ISBN 0-517-455951

    Page 16:
    *** News Item ***
    Man At Work
    New York, July 15 (UP)

    In Sicily, Messerschmitts circled a nearby hill, but Technical Sergeant Richard Redding, stringing wire atop a telephone pole and a perfect target, worked on. Someone yelled up from below, “What are you doing up that pole?”
    “Working,” said Redding , too engrossed to glance down.
    “How long you been up there?”
    “About 20 minutes.”
    “Don’t the planes bother you?”
    “Hell, no – but you do!”
    At the foot of the pole, Lieutenant General George S. Patton, Jr. who had been doing the yelling, kept his piece.



    I wish they had that in the movie.
