Just guessing here w/o internet research -

Isn't that what R E Lee said about war?

It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.”— Robert E. Lee, at Fredericksburg.

"Well, get back down there, son. You're the only son of a bitch in this headquarters who knows what he's trying to do."

"They'll lose their fear of the Germans.  I only hope to God they never lose their fear of me."

the above quotes are all erroneous, and grievously so, except for the very first.

Wat? Not giving the entire sentence is not grievously erroneous.

Again, at least with my quote, I included the last part of the soliloquy that Patton, as a narrator, gives in the last scene of the film. You saw the ending, right? Patton’s telling of the famous Roman parade tradition is perhaps the most important part of the film. If you are saying that a quote has to a part of a conversation vs a narration, then ok, I guess.

At the peril of roethlisberger-ing this up ... the quote about the quote is from the movie.  I missed it too.

That's interesting.  I just saw the list of quotes on rottentomatoes linked by Kyrie (still love that ass in the avatar) and the quote re: erroneous quotes.  When did Patton say that in the film?  Here's a transcript of the screenplay:  https://subslikescript.com/movie/Patton-66206. That quote does not appear.
