More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
Against the dark background of the atomic bomb, the United States does not wish merely to present strength, but also the desire and the hope for peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Plans are useless, but planning is essential.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I come from the very heart of America.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
A world that begins to witness the rebirth of trust among nations can find its way to a peace that is neither partial nor punitive. With all who will work in good faith toward such a peace, we are ready, with renewed resolve, to strive to redeem the near-lost hopes of our day.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The building of such a peace is a bold and solemn purpose. To proclaim it is easy. To serve it will be hard. And to attain it, we must be aware of its full meaning - and ready to pay its full price.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have no use for those- regardless of their political party- who hold some foolish dream of spinning the clock back to days when unorganized labor was a huddled, almost helpless mass.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Peace signifies more than the stilling of guns, easing the sorrow of war. More than escape from death, it is a way of life. More than a haven for the weary, it is a hope for the brave.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Of course Overlord did not fail. How could it? With some many fine young men and women from all corners of the earth all determined to do their best to free a world gone half mad.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
You will enter the continent of Europe and, in conjunction with the other United Nations, undertake operations aimed at the heart of Germany and the destruction of her armed forces.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
If I didn't have air supremacy, I wouldn't be here.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
No amphibious attack in history has approached this one in size. Along miles of coastline there were hundreds of vessels and small boats afloat and ant-like files of advancing troops ashore.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The true purpose of education is to prepare young men and women for effective citizenship in a free form of government.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Freedom bestows on us the priceless gift of opportunity - if we neglect our opportunities we shall certainly lose our freedom.
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
The one weapon every man, soldier, sailor, or airman should be able to use effectively is the rifle. It is always his weapon of personal safety in an emergency, and for many it is the primary weapon of offence and defense. Expertness in its use cannot be over emphasized.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
And now, as in no other age, we seek it [peace] 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
The supreme quality of leadership is integrity.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
