Omar N. Bradley quotes
The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Our is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.
If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.
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.
The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.
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.
Leadership in the democratic army means firmness, not harshness; understanding, not weakness; justice, not license; humaneness, not intolerance; generosity, not selfishness; pride, not egotism.
Leadership is intangible, and therefore no weapon ever designed can replace it.
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.
We need to learn to set our course by the stars, not by the light of every passing ship.
