More quotes by Douglas MacArthur

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
We must offer the world leadership designed to advance the goal of universal progress and enduring peace.
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.
Douglas MacArthur
There is no security. Only opportunity.
Douglas MacArthur
A soldier plods and groans, sweats and toils, he growls and curses, and at the end he dies.
Douglas MacArthur
Americans never quit.
