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
In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.
Douglas MacArthur
There is no security. Only opportunity.
Douglas MacArthur
I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil.
Douglas MacArthur
Americans never quit.
Douglas MacArthur
