Patton had some great ones

"I'll see you in Calais!"
June 3rd, 44, to Eisenhower across a crowded room at a reception in the London Ritz

"Sure, we want to go home. We want this war over with. The quickest way to get it over with is to go get the bastards who started it. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker we can go home. The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo. And when we get to Berlin, I am personally going to shoot that paper hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler. Just like I'd shoot a snake!"

....

"We want to get the hell over there. The quicker we clean up this Goddamned mess, the quicker we can take a little jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit."
General George S. Patton - (addressing to his troops before Operation Overlord) - 5th June 1944

"Maybe there are 5,000, maybe 10,000 Nazi bastards in their concrete foxholes before the Third Army. Now if Ike stops holding Monty's hand and gives me some supplies, I'll go through the Siegfried Line like shhit through a goose."
General George S. Patton

General Douglas MacArthur

A year after the war came the following.

"In Germany they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Trade Unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me,and by that time no one was left to speak up" Rev Martin Niemoller speaking a year after the war, after spending 8 years in different concentration camps.
