Build me a son , O Lord , who will be strong enough to know when he is weak , and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid ; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat , and humble and gentle in victory . 2、???????? Build me a son whose wishes will not take the place of deeds ; a son who will know Thee — and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge . 3、???????? Lead him , I pray , not in the path of ease and comfort , but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge . Here let him learn to stand up in the storm ; here let him learn compassion for those who fail . 4、???????? Build me a son whose heart will be clear , whose goal will be high ; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men ; one who will reach into the future , yet never forger the past . 5、???????? And after all these things are his , add , I pray enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious , yet never takt himself too seriously . Give him humility , so that he may always rememder the simplicity of true greatness , the open mind of true wisdom , and the meekness of true strength . Then I , his father , will dare to whisper , ＂I have not lived in vain .＂ 麦帅为子祈祷词 道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟 Douglas MacArthur 道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟（1880 － 1964），美国五星上将。1903年毕业于西点军校，其总成绩是25年中学员所取得的最高成绩。1917年参加第一次世界大战，是远东部队中最引人注目，最勇敢无畏的军官之一，也是授勋最多的军官之一。1924－1927年，再西点军校任校长，为建设美国现代化军队作出了重要贡献。1935年被任命为驻菲律宾美军司令。第二次世界大战期间，麦克阿瑟指挥盟军西南太平洋地区战争。二战结束后，麦克阿瑟以盟军最高司令官名义，执行美国单独占领日本的任务。朝鲜战争期间，他力图将战争扩大到中国，与杜鲁门总统发生争执，被解除总司令一职，于1951年回到美国。晚年他作为一个战争英雄为美国人民所崇敬。1962年，麦克
