More quotes by Douglas MacArthur
In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.
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
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
No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.
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
Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war.
Douglas MacArthur
I see that the flagpole still stands. Have your troops hoist the colors to its peak, and let no enemy ever haul them down.
Douglas MacArthur
Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.
Douglas MacArthur

If I had one more division like this First Marine Division I could win this war.
Douglas MacArthur
In war, indeed, there can be no substitute for victory.
Douglas MacArthur
A soldier plods and groans, sweats and toils, he growls and curses, and at the end he dies.
Douglas MacArthur
Never give an order that can't be obeyed.
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
I will defend Korea as I would my own country-just as I would California.
Douglas MacArthur
We must offer the world leadership designed to advance the goal of universal progress and enduring peace.
Douglas MacArthur
I can recall no parallel in history where a great nation recently at war has so distinguished its former enemy commander.
Douglas MacArthur
It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.
Douglas MacArthur
This does not mean that you are warmongers. On the contrary, the soldier above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. But always in our ears ring the ominous words of Plato, that wisest of all philosophers: Only the dead have seen the end of war.
Douglas MacArthur
Life is a lively process of becoming.
