A Quote by George S. Patton

Always advance. Never dig in. — © George S. Patton
Always advance. Never dig in.
continue to advance until you run out of ammunition. Then, dig in.
Art and life are subjective. Not everybody's gonna dig what I dig, but I reserve the right to dig it.
It was the same with the whole Russian machine. Fear was the impulse. For them it was always safer to advance than retreat. Advance against the enemy and the bullet might miss you. Retreat, evade, betray and the bullet would never miss.
That is their way, those plagues, those scientists - peg, peg, peg - dig, dig, dig - plod, plod, plod. I wish I could catch a cargo of them for my place; it would be an economy. Yes, for years, you see. They never give up. Patience, hope, faith, perseverance; it is the way of all the breed.
Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
If you desire to dig a well to reach water, your efforts are more fruitful if you dig one 100-foot-deep hole than if you dig ten holes each 10 feet deep.
Poets are always the advance guard of literature; the advance guard of life. It is for this reason that their recognition comes so slowly.
The mathematics are distinguished by a particular privilege, that is, in the course of ages, they may always advance and can never recede.
So, it's always different. Some stuff, you want to do because it's a part that you've never played. It's always for story. Sometimes there's a story that you really dig, but there's no part that you're interested in. Sometimes you read a story and you say, "I could do that. I've never done that before. I could do play that part.
Some people dig jazz, some people dig classical music, some people dig rock. Everyone is so concerned about who they like. They always say, 'This guy is the best,' 'No, this guy is the best.' But I think everyone is great. I really don't have barriers to any type of music. I could listen to everything from metal to classical music to anything else.
It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.
Humanity is still advancing; and it will probably continue to advance for hundreds of thousands of years more, always on condition that we know how to keep the same line of advance as our ancestors towards ever greater consciousness and complexity.
Since one never knows what will be the line of advance, it is always most rash to condemn what is not quite in the fashion of the moment.
It is however, reasonable, to have perfection in our eye; that we may always advance towards it, though we know it never can be reached.
The music I really like to get off on is the old rhythm 'n' blues and rock 'n' roll stuff... that's what I really dig. And I also dig to sing ballads as well. And I also dig writing my own songs. I was just trying to find a way of integrating the whole thing, taking a look at the total picture.
I dig my father. I wish he could open his eyes and dig me.
