More quotes by Douglas MacArthur
In war, indeed, there can be no substitute for victory.
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
Never give an order that can't be obeyed.
Douglas MacArthur

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
The soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training - sacrifice.
Douglas MacArthur
The chickens are coming home to roost, and you happen to have just moved into the chicken house.
Douglas MacArthur
I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil.
Douglas MacArthur
It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.
Douglas MacArthur
Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.
Douglas MacArthur
