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
There are a number of things wrong with Washington. One of them is that everyone is too far from home.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
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
If progress is to be steady we must have long term guides extending far ahead.

Dwight D. Eisenhower
War is a contest, and you finally get to a point where you are talking merely about race suicide, and nothing else.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
May we grow in strength — without pride in self. May we, in our dealings with all peoples of the earth, ever speak truth and serve justice. And so shall America — in the sight of all men of good will — prove true to the honorable purposes that bind and rule us as a people in all this time of trial through which we pass.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
More than any single action by the government since the end of the war, this one would change the face of America with straightaways, cloverleaf turns, bridges, and elongated parkways. Its impact on the American economy-the jobs it would produce in manufacturing and construction, the rural areas it would open up-was beyond calculation.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The people of Israel, like those of the United States, are imbued with a religious faith and a sense of moral values
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower
Accomplishment will prove to be a journey, not a destination.

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
