For MacArthur, courage was both a physical and a moral requirement. He famously walked through the front lines of battle without a helmet to show his men he was not afraid. He taught that 'youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind... it is a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity. ' He believed that as long as a person stays open to new ideas and continues to take risks, they remain young and vital.
"Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die."
"Preparedness is the key to success and the guardian of victory."
