More quotes by Douglas MacArthur
A soldier plods and groans, sweats and toils, he growls and curses, and at the end he dies.
Douglas MacArthur
No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.
Douglas MacArthur
Old soldiers never die, they just lose their grip on reality after traumatic brain injuries.
Douglas MacArthur
The object and practice of liberty lies in the limitation of government power.
Douglas MacArthur
This does not mean that you are warmongers. On the contrary, the soldier above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. But always in our ears ring the ominous words of Plato, that wisest of all philosophers: Only the dead have seen the end of war.
Douglas MacArthur
Duty, Honor, Country - those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.
Douglas MacArthur
I see that the flagpole still stands. Have your troops hoist the colors to its peak, and let no enemy ever haul them down.
Douglas MacArthur
I have one criticism about the Negro troops who fought under my command in the Korean War. They didn't send me enough of them.
Douglas MacArthur
I will defend Korea as I would my own country-just as I would California.
Douglas MacArthur
The hated system of land tenure, so contributory to general unrest in Asia, has been abolished. Every farmer is now accorded the right and dignity of ownership of the land he long has tilled.
Douglas MacArthur
Nothing would please me better than if they would give me three months and then attack here.
Douglas MacArthur
My first recollection is that of a bugle call.
Douglas MacArthur
We are bound no longer by the straitjacket of the past and nowhere is the change greater than in our profession of arms. What, you may well ask, will be the end of all of this? I would not know! But I would hope that our beloved country will drink deep from the chalice of courage.
Douglas MacArthur
Men since the beginning of time have sought peace...military alliances, balances of power, leagues of nations, all in turn have failed, leaving the only path to be by way of the crucible of war. The utter destructiveness of war not blots out this alternative.
Douglas MacArthur
Blank cartridges should never be used against a mob, nor should a volley be fired over the heads of the mob even if there is little danger of hurting persons in the rear. Such things will be regarded as an admission of weakness, or an attempt to bluff, and may do more harm than good.
Douglas MacArthur
No army has ever done so much with so little.
Douglas MacArthur
WE HAVE HAD OUR LAST CHANCE. THE PROBLEM NOW IS BASICALLY THEOLOGICAL, AND INVOLVES SPIRITUALITY AND IMPROVEMENT OF human CHARACTER. IT MUST BE OF THE SPIRIT IF WE ARE TO SAVE THE FLESH.
Douglas MacArthur
On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days, on other fields will bear the fruits of victory.
Douglas MacArthur
The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave.
Douglas MacArthur
The chickens are coming home to roost, and you happen to have just moved into the chicken house.
