General Douglas MacArthur

My soldiers ask of me, why surrender a military advantage in the field ... I could not answer.

There is no substitute for victory.

And now, like the old soldier of 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 light to see that duty. Good-bye.

A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.

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

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

In war there is no substitute for victory.

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

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!!!

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

Americans never quit.
