Quotations By Douglas MacArthur


Courage
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.

Heroism
I do not know the dignity of his birth, but I do know the glory of his death.

War
In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory. -- Douglas MacArthur

War
Wars are caused by undefended wealth. -- Douglas MacArthur

War
