The clearest way to show what the rule of law means to us in everyday life is to recall what has happened when there is no rule of law.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
You did not tell me what you are doing athletically just now but I do hope that if your arm comes along next spring you can get it in good shape to try out for the pitching spot on the varsity. However, if you don't make it then I suggest you take up golf which after all is the best game of all of them.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
And the next thing is that every war is going to astonish you in the way it occurred, and in the way it is carried out.
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
What the church should be telling the worker is that the first demand religion makes on him is that he should be a good workman. If he is a carpenter he should be a competent carpenter. Church by all means on Sundays-but what is the use of church if at the very center of life a man defrauds his neighbor and insults God by poor craftsmanship.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with the people's money or their economy or their form of government, be conservative.
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.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
...the right of the individual to elect freely the manner of his care in illness must be preserved.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Our arms must be mighty ... ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction
Dwight D. Eisenhower
For a just and lasting peace, here is my solemn pledge to you: by dedication and patience we will continue, as long as I remain your President, to work for this simple - this single - this exclusive goal.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The proper role of government, however, is that of partner with the farmer -- never his master. By every possible means we must develop and promote that partnership -- to the end that agriculture may continue to be a sound, enduring foundation for our economy and that farm living may be a profitable and satisfying experience.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom. And now, as in no other age, we seek it because we have been warned, by the power of modern weapons, that peace may be the only climate possible for human life itself.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Beware the influence of the military-industrial complex.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Laughter can relieve tension, soothe the pain of disappointment, and strengthen the spirit for the formidable tasks that always lie ahead.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The only way to win World War III is to prevent it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Probably no one here knows I coached a football team - a service team - playing against Georgetown. I think it was in the fall of 1924 Lou Little was your coach, and he beat us. But it was a very happy circumstance, because it brought me the friendship of another man, Lou Little, who to this day remains my very warm associate and friend.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
You realise Group Captain that this might be the most important weather forecast in history?
Dwight D. Eisenhower
For all that we cherish and justly desire - for ourselves or for our children - the securing of peace is the first requisite.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
You can decide to invade Russia at dinner, pick Waterloo for battle on a whim. It's the details, the small stuff. Its easy to gamble a million lives. Whats hard is to see how that can hurt one single person. And if you cant keep that straight, hell, you'll lose your humanity.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
