More quotes by 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

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
It is my earnest hope, and 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...
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
There is no security. Only opportunity.
Douglas MacArthur
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
Douglas MacArthur
While Asia is commonly referred to as the Gateway to Europe, it is no less true that Europe is the Gateway to Asia, and the broad influence of the one cannot fail to have its impact upon the other.
Douglas MacArthur
For those to whom much is given, much is required. It is not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up. There is no substitute for victory.
