Feeling moody. Need proper quotes.

For reasons know to me, but could be surmised by some - I needed to dig in the quote vault to validate things bumping around my non-medicated, under-caffeinated head this AM. Sometimes you see things and think, "What in the hell is going on?"

Anyway, here are two quotes from one of the best, IMAO, leaders the American people produced. Not a perfect man; none of us are. But hate or love him, you can't deny that General Patton was a man of unique foundation and insight.

Here are the two that fit the bill.
