More quotes by Douglas MacArthur
There is no security. Only opportunity.
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
Americans never quit.
Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur
The untruthful soldier trifles with the lives of his countrymen and the honor and safety of his country.
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
The chickens are coming home to roost, and you happen to have just moved into the chicken house.
Douglas MacArthur
Believe me, sir, never a night goes by, be I ever so tired, but I read the Word of God before I go to bed.
Douglas MacArthur
Expect only 5% of an intelligence report to be accurate.The trick of a good commander is to isolate the 5%.
Douglas MacArthur
In war, indeed, there can be no substitute for victory.
Douglas MacArthur
Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war.
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.
