Leatherneck Famous Marine Quotes

"Mine eyes have seen MacArthur
With a Bible on his knee,
He is pounding out communiqués
For guys like you and me.
And while possibly a rumor now,
Some day ‘twill be a fact
That the Lord will hear a deep voice say
“Move over, God, it's Mac.'"

Marine parody on Corregidor

"Take your time. Stay away from the easy going. Never go the same way twice."

GySgt Charles C. Arndt, Guadalcanal, 1942 on reconnaissance

"We’re not accustomed to occupying defensive positions. It’s destructive to morale."

LtGen H. M. “Howlin’ Mad” Smith, Iwo Jima, 1945, quoted to Walter Karig

"The Marine Corps has been called by the New York Times the 'elite' Corps of this country. I think it is the 'elite' Corps of the world."

Adm William F. Halsey, 4thMarDiv reunion, Washington, D.C., 11 June 1949
