More quotes by Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur
Have a good plan, execute it violently, and do it today.
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
I have every confidence in the ultimate success of our joint cause but success in modern war requires something more than courage and a willingness to die: it requires careful preparation.
Douglas MacArthur
In war there is no substitute for victory.
