More quotes by Omar N. Bradley
Peace is our goal but preparedness is the price we must pay.
Omar N. Bradley
Dependability, integrity, the characteristic of never knowingly doing anything wrong, that you would never cheat anyone, that you would give everybody a fair deal. Character is a sort of an all-inclusive thing. If a man has character, everyone has confidence in him.
Omar N. Bradley
Each player on this team whether he shines in the spotlight or eats dirt on the line, must be an All-American.
Omar N. Bradley
Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.
Omar N. Bradley
The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
Omar N. Bradley

Omar N. Bradley
Wars can be prevented just as surely as they can be provoked, and we who fail to prevent them must share the guilt for the dead.
Omar N. Bradley
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.
Omar N. Bradley
Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.
Omar N. Bradley
The nation needs men who think in terms of service to their country and not in terms of their country's debt to them.
Omar N. Bradley
Amateurs study tactics professionals study logistics.
Omar N. Bradley
If you will help run our government in the American way, then there will never be any danger of our government running America in the wrong way.
Omar N. Bradley
A piece of paper makes you an officer, a radio makes you a commander.
Omar N. Bradley
It seems very unfortunate that in order to secure political preference, people are made Vice President who are never intended, neither by party nor by the Lord, to be Presidents.
Omar N. Bradley
In a completely integrated unit where you'd have white soldiers, particularly from southern states, serving under black noncommissioned officers or officers... I think you would have a problem definitely.
Omar N. Bradley
In war there is no second prize for the runner-up.
