Precisely at 7 Patton boomed in to breakfast. His vigor was always infectious, his wit barbed, his conversation a mixture of obscenity and good humor. He was at once stimulating and overbearing. George was a magnificent soldier.

More quotes by Omar Bradley

If a man has character, everyone has confidence in him. Soldiers must have confidence in their leader.

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

I prefer to remember Patton as a man, as a man with all the frailties and faults of a human being, as a man whose greatness is therefore all the more of a triumph.

A Soldier's Story (1951)

We are dealing with [veterans], not procedures; with their problems, not ours.

Behind every river, there’s another hill—and behind that hill, another river.
