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

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

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.

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.

I have returned many times to honour the valiant men who died...every man who set foot on Omaha Beach was a hero.
