Douglas MacArthur

• A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.
  
• 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.
  
• 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.
  
• Life is a lively process of becoming.
  
• No man is enitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.
  
• Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
  
• Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear.
  
• 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.
  
• 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.
  
• The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other.
  
• We are not retreating - we are advancing in another direction.
  
• Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
  
• You are remembered for the rules you break.
  
• Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
  
• I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.
  
• Last, but by no means least, courage - moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through. The world ;is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle - the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your; conscience on the other.
  
• The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.
  
• Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.
  Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.
  
• 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.
  
• The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.
  
• There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.
  
• One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda.
  
• Americans never quit.
