Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.
Douglas MacArthurFor those to whom much is given, much is required. It is not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up. There is no substitute for victory.
Douglas MacArthurThe soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training - sacrifice.
Douglas MacArthurBy 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.
