OMAR N. BRADLEY

Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.

This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.

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.

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.

Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.

If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.

We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the sermon on the mount.

We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.

With the monstrous weapons man already has, humanity is in danger of being trapped in this world by its moral adolescents.

Leadership is intangible, and therefore no weapon ever designed can replace it.

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.

It is time that we steered by the stars, not by the lights of each passing ship

It is folly to argue whether one weapon is more immoral than another. For, in a larger sense, it is war itself which is immoral.

Any time we put our hand to a job we must finish it…. We must take Brest in order to maintain the illusion that the U. S. Army cannot be beaten.

In war there is no second prize for the runner-up.

A leader should possess human understanding and consideration for others. Men are not robots and should not be treated as such.

Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.

Our technology has already outstripped our ability to control it.

The Army is not out to make any social reforms. The Army will put men of different races in different companies. It will change that policy when the Nation as a whole changes it.

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.

The way to win an atomic war is to make sure it never starts.

The wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong enemy.

We know more about war than we do about peace.

Airpower has become predominant, both as a deterrent to war, and-in the eventuality of war-as the devastating force to destroy an enemy's potential and fatally undermine his will to wage war.

Our humanity is trapped by moral adolescents. We have too many men of science, too few men of God. The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom and power without conscience.
