More quotes by Douglas MacArthur
The Puerto Ricans forming the ranks of the gallant 65th Infantry on the battlefields of Korea … are writing a brilliant record of achievement in battle and I am proud indeed to have them in this command. I wish that we might have many more like them.
Douglas MacArthur
Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
Douglas MacArthur
Security lies in our ability to produce.
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
They died hard, those savage men - like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them.
Douglas MacArthur
I'll come back as soon as I can with as much as I can. In the meantime, you've got to hold!
Douglas MacArthur
Americans never quit.
Douglas MacArthur
The object and practice of liberty lies in the limitation of government power.
Douglas MacArthur
I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I've done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?
Douglas MacArthur
It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.
Douglas MacArthur
We must offer the world leadership designed to advance the goal of universal progress and enduring peace.
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
Life is a lively process of becoming.
Douglas MacArthur
The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other.
Douglas MacArthur
Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.
Douglas MacArthur
The untruthful soldier trifles with the lives of his countrymen and the honor and safety of his country.
Douglas MacArthur
Youth is not entirely a time of life it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubts as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
Douglas MacArthur
It was close but that's the way it is in war. You win or lose, live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.
Douglas MacArthur
No plan ever survives its first encounter with the enemy.
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.
