Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur
There is no security. Only opportunity.
Douglas MacArthur
The object and practice of liberty lies in the limitation of government power.
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
The hated system of land tenure, so contributory to general unrest in Asia, has been abolished. Every farmer is now accorded the right and dignity of ownership of the land he long has tilled.
Douglas MacArthur
Have a good plan, execute it violently, and do it today.
Douglas MacArthur
It was close but that's the way it is in war. You win or lose, live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.
Douglas MacArthur
I have every confidence in the ultimate success of our joint cause but success in modern war requires something more than courage and a willingness to die: it requires careful preparation.
