Arms alone can give the world no permanent peace, no confident security. Arms are solely for defense - to protect from violent assault what we already have. They are only a costly insurance. They cannot add to human progress.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The supreme quality of leadership is integrity.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We know something of the cost of that war. We were in it from December seventh, '41, till August of '45. Ever since that time, we have been waging peace. It has had its ups and downs just as the war did.

I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
