“It is fatal to enter an war without the will to win it.” 

“Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.” 

“I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any treat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.” 

“Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.” 

“The enemy is in front of us, the enemy is behind us, the enemy is to the right and to the left of us. They can't get away this time!” 

“And like the old soldier in that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the sight to see that duty.” 

Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.

The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. Douglas MacArthur

You are remembered for the rules you break.

Give me ten thousand Filipino soldiers and I will conquer the world.

We are not retreating - we are advancing in another Direction

I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any treat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.

There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.

I realize that advice is worth what it costs--that is, nothing.

On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days, on other fields will bear the fruits of victory.

“This does not mean that you are warmongers. On the contrary, the soldier above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. But always in our ears ring the ominous words of Plato, that wisest of all philosophers: "Only the dead have seen the end of war.” 

“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.” 

It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.

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.

Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear.

I have known war as few men now living know it. It's very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.

It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.

In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.

The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

In war, you win or lose, live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.

In war there is no substitute for victory.

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.

You don't win wars by dying for your country you win wars by making the other son of a bitch die for his

“I had learned one of the bitter lessons of life: never try to regain the past, the fire will have become ashes.” 

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?

Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.

Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.

Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.

Life is a lively process of becoming.
