A Bit of Wisdom from General Douglas MacArthur

Washington, DC…General Douglas MacArthur, 26 January 1880 – 5 April 1964. American military leader from WW1 all to the Korean War. One bit of history people tend to forget is that the current constitution of Japan is known as the MacArthur Constitution because he wrote most of it.

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.”

“You are remembered for the rules you break.”

“In war there is no substitute for victory.”

“Americans never quit.”
