More quotes by Douglas MacArthur
Nothing would please me better than if they would give me three months and then attack here.
Douglas MacArthur
The outfit soon took on color, dash and a unique flavor which is the essence of that elusive and deathless thing called soldiering.
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

Douglas MacArthur
Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.
Douglas MacArthur
Americans never quit.
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
I promise to keep on living as though I expected to live forever. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only be deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul.
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
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
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
Douglas MacArthur
A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.
Douglas MacArthur
Security lies in our ability to produce.
Douglas MacArthur
The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave.
Douglas MacArthur
In war there is no substitute for victory.
Douglas MacArthur
My staff was unanimous in believing that Japan was on the point of collapse and surrender.
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
In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.
