Douglas MacArthur
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up wrinkles the soul.
The soldier, above all other men, is required to perform the highest act of religious teaching -- sacrifice.
There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
There is no security in this life. There is only opportunity.
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.
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
