More quotes by Douglas MacArthur
Americans never quit.
Douglas MacArthur
No plan ever survives its first encounter with the enemy.
Douglas MacArthur
It was close but that's the way it is in war. You win or lose, live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.
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
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
If I had one more division like this First Marine Division I could win this war.
Douglas MacArthur
Once war is forced upon us, there is no alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. War’s very object is victory-not prolonged indecision.
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
I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I've done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?
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
Nothing would please me better than if they would give me three months and then attack here.
Douglas MacArthur
In war, indeed, there can be no substitute for victory.
Douglas MacArthur
Preparedness is the key to success and victory.
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
l know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.
Douglas MacArthur
Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.
Douglas MacArthur
The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point?but I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die they just fade away.
Douglas MacArthur
A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.
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
No army has ever done so much with so little.
