More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
Because, therefore, we are defending a way of life, we must be respectful of that way of life as we proceed to the solution of our problem. We must not violate its principles and its precepts, and we must not destroy from within what we are trying to defend from without.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have said time and again there is no place on this earth to which I would not travel, there is no chore I would not undertake if I had any faintest hope that, by so doing, I would promote the general cause of world peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The only way to win World War III is to prevent it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The day will come when the people will make so insistent their demand that there be peace in the world that the Governments will get out of the way and let them have peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The United States strongly seeks a lasting agreement for the discontinuance of nuclear weapons tests. We believe that this would be an important step toward reduction of international tensions and would open the way to further agreement on substantial measures of disarmament.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
[Not achieving a nuclear test ban] would have to be classed as the greatest disappointment of any administration of any decade, of any time and of any party.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Things have never been more like the way they are today in history.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Recognition of the Supreme Being was the first - the most basic - expression of Americanism.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Dwight D. Eisenhower
For every obstacle there is a solution. Persistence is the key. The greatest mistake is giving up!
Dwight D. Eisenhower
As our heart summons our strength, our wisdom must direct it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The hand of the aggressor is stayed by strength - and strength alone.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Some years ago I became president of Columbia University and learned within 24 hours to be ready to speak at the drop of a hat, and I learned something more, the trustees were expected to be ready to speak at the passing of the hat.
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
War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of the warrior, you do so in the spirit of Washington - not of Genghis Khan. For Americans, only threat to our way of life justifies resort to conflict.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The seeker is never so popular as the sought. People want what they can't get.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Our economy is the result of millions of decisions we all make every day about producing, earning, saving, investing, and spending.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
... we have been warned by the power of modern weapons, that peace may be the only climate possible for human life itself ... There must be law, steadily invoked and respected by all nations, for without law, the world promises only such meager justice as the pity of the strong upon the weak.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
