1880-1964. General of the Army, United States Army. I have returned.

War's very object is victory. Not prolonged indecision.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

Appeasement but begets new and bloodier war.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

Too late in comprehending the deadly purpose of a potential enemy. Too late in realising the mortal danger. Too late in preparedness.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

Too late in uniting all possible forces for resistance. Too late in standing with one's friends.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

The history of failure in war can almost be summed up in two words. Too late.

@KurtSchlichter I can tell you Kurt, with certainty, neither George Kenney nor Carl Spaatz would have tolerated Bronies in their air forces.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

A true leader does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listens to the needs of others.

I am concerned for the security of our Nation; not so much because of threat from without but because of the insidious forces working within

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

@KurtSchlichter I've been away a great many years but now I have returned & I hear rumours that our new President ate a dog. Can it be true?

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

But in the evening of my memories always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes: Duty, Honor, Country.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

I had learned one of the bitter lessons of life: never try to regain the past, the fire will have become ashes.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

You are remembered for the rules you break.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

@onefacthunt Thank you Sir.

One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously moulded by the press & propaganda.

[GenDouglasMacArthur @GAMacArthur]

Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind.
