I am convinced that the best service a retired general can perform is to turn in his tongue along with his suit and to mothball his opinions.
Omar N. Bradley
The wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong enemy. ... Red China is not the powerful nation seeking to dominate the world.
Omar N. Bradley
We've learned how to destroy, but not to create how to waste, but not to build how to kill men, but not how to save them how to die, but seldom how to live.
Omar N. Bradley
Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.
Omar N. Bradley

Omar N. Bradley
In war there is no second prize for the runner-up.
Omar N. Bradley
Amateurs study tactics professionals study logistics.
Omar N. Bradley
Peace is our goal but preparedness is the price we must pay.
Omar N. Bradley
War: A wretched debasement of all the pretenses of civilization.
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
I have returned many times to honour the valiant men who died...every man who set foot on Omaha Beach was a hero.
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
Every member of our baseball team at West Point became a general: this proves the value of team sports.
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.
