More quotes by Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
Douglas MacArthur
It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.
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
Optimism is denial, so face the facts and move on
Douglas MacArthur
There is no security. Only opportunity.
Douglas MacArthur

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
l know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.
Douglas MacArthur
The soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training - sacrifice.
Douglas MacArthur
