For those who have fought for it, life has a flavor the protected shall never know"It was written by French author Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant (05 August 1850 -- 06 July 1893). Guy de Maupassant died when Patton was 8 years old.Patton may have rewritten the line, but it certainly did not originate with him.References:I have references to back up this edit, but Answers dot com won't allow links in posts.
