About this quote

This quote advises that when faced with uncertainty, taking decisive action is better than hesitating. In moments of doubt, waiting often hands the advantage to an opponent or creates paralysis. By choosing to act boldly, you seize the initiative, force the situation to unfold on your terms, and gain control over an otherwise unpredictable scenario.

General George S. Patton recorded this operational rule in his personal wartime writings, which were published posthumously in his 1947 memoir, War as I Knew It, reflecting his aggressive battlefield philosophy during the Second World War.

People often hang this print in a home office or study to encourage decisive decision-making during difficult tasks.
