Dwight D. Eisenhower
The winning of war - the effectiveness in such things - is in the heart, in the determination, in the faith. It is in our beliefs in our country, in our God, everything that goes to make up America.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The world must know what happened, and never forget.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have spent my life in the study of military strength as a deterrent to war, and in the character of military armaments necessary to win a war. The study of the first of these questions is still profitable, but we are rapidly getting to the point that no war can be won.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We have never stopped sin by passing laws and in the same way, we are not going to take a great moral ideal and achieve it merely by law.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In the service, when a man gives you his word, his word is binding. In politics, you never know.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
