More quotes by Douglas MacArthur
It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.
Douglas MacArthur
Youth is not entirely a time of life it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubts as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
Douglas MacArthur
I promise to keep on living as though I expected to live forever. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only be deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul.
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
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
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
Douglas MacArthur
The chickens are coming home to roost, and you happen to have just moved into the chicken house.
Douglas MacArthur
It is my earnest hope - indeed the hope of all mankind - that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past, a world found upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance and justice.
Douglas MacArthur
Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency.
Douglas MacArthur
The hated system of land tenure, so contributory to general unrest in Asia, has been abolished. Every farmer is now accorded the right and dignity of ownership of the land he long has tilled.
Douglas MacArthur
The untruthful soldier trifles with the lives of his countrymen and the honor and safety of his country.
Douglas MacArthur
A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.
Douglas MacArthur
My staff was unanimous in believing that Japan was on the point of collapse and surrender.
Douglas MacArthur
A soldier plods and groans, sweats and toils, he growls and curses, and at the end he dies.
Douglas MacArthur
Optimism is denial, so face the facts and move on
Douglas MacArthur
Never give an order that can't be obeyed.
Douglas MacArthur
A good soldier, whether he leads a platoon or an army, is expected to look backward as well as forward but he must think only forward.
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 have one criticism about the Negro troops who fought under my command in the Korean War. They didn't send me enough of them.
Douglas MacArthur
Security lies in our ability to produce.
