More quotes by Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur
Nothing would please me better than if they would give me three months and then attack here.
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
I will defend Korea as I would my own country-just as I would California.
Douglas MacArthur
No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.
