Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
Douglas Macarthur

But I don't respect the song part of it! It's an audio torture device, like the Macarena and all that other bootie shaking music.
Jason Holliman, talking about the Spice Girls hit, "Wannabe".
 1004    
I promise to keep on living as though I expected to live forever. 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.
Douglas MacArthur
 1004    
Like the old soldier of the 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. Goodbye.

Fettucine Alfredo is just Macaroni and cheese for adults
Mitch Hedburg
 1004    
By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder -- infinitely prouder -- to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, ''Our Father Who Art in Heaven.''
Douglas Macarthur

We are not retreating -- we are advancing in another direction.
Douglas Macarthur
 1004    
The powers in charge keep us in a perpetual state of fear keep us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.
Douglas Macarthur
 1004
