More quotes by Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur
We are not retreating - we are advancing in another direction.
Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur
Life is a lively process of becoming.
Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur
In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory.
Douglas MacArthur
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
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
Americans never quit.
Douglas MacArthur
I know that this operation will be sort of helter-skelter. But the First Marine Division is going to win the war by landing at Inchon.
Douglas MacArthur
The chickens are coming home to roost, and you happen to have just moved into the chicken house.
Douglas MacArthur
