Or as George Patton said it, "As it was written, so it shall be
done."

Patton never said that. It's too long a sentence.

Of course, Patton's best line is kinda long: I don't want you to
die for your country. I want you to make some other dumb
bastard die for his.

Patton didn't say that either. Too short a sentence.

I think Nuts was what some general said when asked to surrender
during the Battle of the Bulge.

General Anthony Clement McAuliffe (July 2, 1898 – August 11,
1975) was the United States Army general who commanded the 101st
Airborne Division troops defending Bastogne, Belgium during the
Battle of the Bulge in World War II. He is famous for his
single-word reply to a German surrender ultimatum: "Nuts!"
