More quotes by Douglas MacArthur
The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave.
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
Few names have left a firmer imprint upon the pages of the history of American times than has that of Ty Cobb... he seems to have understood that in the competition of baseball, just as in war, defensive strategy never has produced ultimate victory.
Douglas MacArthur
There is no security. Only opportunity.
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

Douglas MacArthur
Once war is forced upon us, there is no alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. War’s very object is victory-not prolonged indecision.
Douglas MacArthur
In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.
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
Have a good plan, execute it violently, and do it today.
Douglas MacArthur
It is my earnest hope - indeed the hope of all mankind - that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past, a world found upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance and justice.
Douglas MacArthur
Nine times of ten an army has been destroyed because its supply lines have been severed
Douglas MacArthur
In war, as it is waged now, with the enormous losses on both sides, both sides will lose. It is a form of mutual suicide.
Douglas MacArthur
Preparedness is the key to success and victory.
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
In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory.
