Quote DB :: Authors :: Douglas MacArthur :: View Quote View Quote "Duty, honour, country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn." - Copy to Clipboard   --  Douglas MacArthur Listed in: Courage, Faith, Hope Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 3.87  Rate Quote 15 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from Douglas MacArthur "No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation." "Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear — kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor — with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it." "Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die." "The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It’s the age-old struggle—the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your conscience on the other." "Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear." Top 5 quotes from Courage, Faith, Hope "Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man." "Hope is a waking dream." "Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords: but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain; and expectations improperly indulged must end in disappointment." "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all." "The world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming it."
