More quotes by Douglas MacArthur
Blank cartridges should never be used against a mob, nor should a volley be fired over the heads of the mob even if there is little danger of hurting persons in the rear. Such things will be regarded as an admission of weakness, or an attempt to bluff, and may do more harm than good.
Douglas MacArthur
Apart from an innate grasp of tactical concepts, a great coach must possess the essentials attributes of leadership which mold men into a cohesive, fighting team with an invincible will to victory.
Douglas MacArthur
Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.
Douglas MacArthur
We are not retreating - we are advancing in another direction.
Douglas MacArthur
Duty, Honor, Country - those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.
Douglas MacArthur
They died hard, those savage men - like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them.
Douglas MacArthur
The outfit soon took on color, dash and a unique flavor which is the essence of that elusive and deathless thing called soldiering.
Douglas MacArthur
The great question is, can war be outlawed from the world? If so, it would mark the greatest advance in civilization since the Sermon on the Mount.
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 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
We are bound no longer by the straitjacket of the past and nowhere is the change greater than in our profession of arms. What, you may well ask, will be the end of all of this? I would not know! But I would hope that our beloved country will drink deep from the chalice of courage.
Douglas MacArthur
In war, indeed, there can be no substitute for victory.
Douglas MacArthur
It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.
Douglas MacArthur
Believe me, sir, never a night goes by, be I ever so tired, but I read the Word of God before I go to bed.
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
Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.
Douglas MacArthur
Americans never quit.
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
History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster.
Douglas MacArthur
There is no security. Only opportunity.
