Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower
Any time we deny any citizen the full exercise of his constitutional rights, we are weakening our own claim to them.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower
Only strength can cooperate. Weakness can only beg.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
