George Smith Patton

Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or patton:

    He sowed our spawn in the world’s dim dawn,
    And I know that it shall not die;
    —Langdon Smith (1858–1908)

    An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.
    —Phil Patton (b. 1953)
