Duty, Honor, Country / Every Man a King
General Douglas MacArthur / Huey P. Long




Excerpt of
Duty, Honor, Country
General Douglas MacArthur
The Sylvanus Thayer Award Acceptance Address delivered 12 May 1962, West Point, NY


General Westmoreland, General Grove, distinguished guests, and gentlemen of the Corps!

…You are the leaven which binds together the entire fabric of our national system of defense. From your ranks come the great captains who hold the nation's destiny in their hands the moment the war tocsin sounds. The Long Gray Line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses thundering those magic words: Duty, Honor, Country.

This does not mean that you are war mongers.

On the contrary, the soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

But always in our ears ring the ominous words of Plato, that wisest of all philosophers: "Only the dead have seen the end of war."

The shadows are lengthening for me. The twilight is here. My days of old have vanished, tone and tint. They have gone glimmering through the dreams of things that were. Their memory is one of wondrous beauty, watered by tears, and coaxed and caressed by the smiles of yesterday. I listen vainly, but with thirsty ears, for the witching melody of faint bugles blowing reveille, of far drums beating the long roll. In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.


(Excerpt of )
Every Man a King
Huey P. Long
Radio speech to the nation delivered 23 February 1934


…Now, my friends, if you were off on an island where there were 100 lunches, you could not let one man eat up the hundred lunches, or take the hundred lunches and not let anybody else eat any of them. If you did, there would not be anything else for the balance of the people to consume.

So, we have in America today, my friends, a condition by which about 10 men dominate the means of activity in at least 85 percent of the activities that you own. They either own directly everything or they have got some kind of mortgage on it, with a very small percentage to be excepted. They own the banks, they own the steel mills, they own the railroads, they own the bonds, they own the mortgages, they own the stores, and they have chained the country from one end to the other, until there is not any kind of business that a small, independent man could go into today and make a living, and there is not any kind of business that an independent man can go into and make any money to buy an automobile with; and they have finally and gradually and steadily eliminated everybody from the fields in which there is a living to be made, and still they have got little enough sense to think they ought to be able to get more business out of it anyway.

If you reduce a man to the point where he is starving to death and bleeding and dying, how do you expect that man to get hold of any money to spend with you? It is not possible. Then, ladies and gentlemen, how do you expect people to live, when the wherewith cannot be had by the people?

Penguins always seen to be dressed to party! Did you know their coats are for more than just looks? First, penguins’ black colorings help them camouflage with the bottom of the ocean. If you look down into the water, it is hard to see them! Also, penguins’ white bellies camouflage them! When predators look up at penguins swimming, it can be hard to see them. They blend in with the sky! Not only do the colors of penguins help them, but their feathers help too! Their outside feathers are waterproof and protects them while they are swimming.

Read the excerpt from Seven Ages of Man

“Into the lean and slippered pantaloon

with spectacles on nose, and pouch on side,

His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide

For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice

Turning again toward childish treble, pipes

And whistles in his sound”

Read the excerpt from "The Quarrel" from "Stories from the Iliad."

It happened that Chryses, priest of Apollo, came to Agamemnon and the other Greek chiefs. He had come to offer much gold to ransom his daughter, Chryseis. On his knees he begged them to take the gold and give him back the girl. “If you will do this,” he said, “may the gods help you to take the city of Troy, and bring you back safe to your homes.”

What effect does the phrase "On his knees he begged them" have on the meaning of the excerpt from "The Quarrel"?

It emphasizes how much Chryses wants to see his daughter again.

It suggests that Chryses is afraid of the Greeks and will do whatever they say.

It implies that Chryses is trying to manipulate Agamemnon by appealing to his emotions.

It shows how much Chryses respects Agamemnon

It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle.

Tipped with cirrus.
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
By its easy arc before it hit
My forehead with a thud.
