George S. Patton
168 citations

The publicity I have been getting, a good deal of which is untrue, and the rest of it ill considered, has done me more harm than good. The only way you get on in this profession is to have the reputation of doing what you are told as thoroughly as possible. So far I have been able to accomplish that, and I believe I have gotten quite a reputation from not kicking at peculiar assignments. ✨ Letter to Frederick Ayers on May 05, 1943. The Patton Papers 1940-1945. Book by Martin Blumenson, p. 242, 1996.
