General Douglas MacArthur

Americans never quit.

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

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

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.

A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.

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.

There is no substitute for victory.

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