My God, form a boy become a man strong enough to realize when he is weak. And brave enough to face himself when he was afraid. Humans who have a sense of pride and steadfastness in defeat, humble and honest in the victory.
Form a boy become a strong and understand that knowing and self-knowledge is the foundation of all true science.
My God, do not you guide my son on the road easy and soft yan. Let you take him into the waves and urged the difficulties of life's challenges. Lead my son, so he could stand up in the middle of the storm, and berwelas compassion to those who fell.
Establish son, a clear-hearted man with high ideals of the sky. A man who can lead themselves, before leading others.
A man who can reach the future but not forgetting the past. And after all may be his son has a mild heart to have fun and always sincere but never to excess.
Give him humility, simplicity and majesty of the essential, clear and open mind for the source of wisdom and gentleness of true power that I, his parents, would dare to say: "my life was not in vain"
Douglas Mac Arthur - written during the most difficult days of the beginning of the Pacific war.
