More quotes by Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur
Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.
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
I realize that advice is worth what it costs--that is, nothing.
Douglas MacArthur
The inescapable price of liberty is an ability to preserve it from destruction.
Douglas MacArthur
A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.
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.
