I Came Out Of Bataan And I

I Am Concerned For The Security Of Our Great Nation; Not So Much Because Of Any Threat From Without, But Because Of The Insidious Forces Working From Within.

I Had Learned One Of The Bitter Lessons Of Life: Never Try To Regain The Past, The Fire Will Have Become Ashes.

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 Only Be Deserting Their Ideals. Years May Wrinkle The Skin, But To Give Up Interest Wrinkles The Soul.

By Profession I Am A Soldier And Take Great 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 Potentialities Of Death; The Other Embodies Creation And Life.

Life Is A Lively Process Of Becoming.
