Douglas Macarthur General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, GCB was an American general, United Nations general and Field Marshal of the Philippine Army. He was a Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s and later played a prominent role in the Pacific more.. Douglas Macarthur: A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him. #Generals Douglas Macarthur: You are remembered for the rules you break. #Rules 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. #Appearance Douglas Macarthur: 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. #America Douglas Macarthur: We are not retreating - we are advancing in another direction. #Defeat Douglas Macarthur: Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die. #Death and Dying Douglas Macarthur: Last, but by no means least, couragemoral 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. #Courage Douglas Macarthur: There is no substitute for victory. #Victory Douglas Macarthur: The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself. #Luck Douglas Macarthur: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. #Men and Women Douglas Macarthur: In war there is no substitute for victory. #War Douglas Macarthur: It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh. #Spirit and Spirituality Douglas Macarthur:My first memory was of the sound of bugles. #Memory Douglas Macarthur: No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation. #Freedom Douglas Macarthur: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. While such an economy may produce a sense of seeming prosperity for the moment, it rests on an illusionary foundation of complete unreliability and renders among our political leaders almost a greater fear of peace than is their fear of war. #Doubt Douglas Macarthur: Old soldiers never die; they just fade away. #Soldier Douglas Macarthur: Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. #Soul Douglas Macarthur: There's no security on this earth, only opportunity. #Security Douglas Macarthur: By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder -- infinitely prouder -- to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, Our Father Who Art in Heaven. #Fathers Douglas Macarthur:I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil. #God Related Authors on iWise Theodore Roosevelt Jerome P Fleishman Clark H Minor About iWise Building the worlds wisdom engine.
