Douglas MacArthur

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

Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that, upon other fields, on other days, will bear the fruits of victory.

New York Times Obituary

If the historian of the future should deem my service worthy of some slight reference, it would be my hope that he mention me not as a commander engaged in campaigns and battles, even though victorious to American arms, but rather as that one whose sacred duty it became, once the guns were silenced, to carry to the land of our vanquished foe the solace and hope and faith of Christian morals.

Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war.
