I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens.

More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
Preparing for battle, plans were essential. But once the battle was joined, plans were useless.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
As for myself and for the Secretary of State and others involved, including those in the Legislature, we stand ready to do anything, to meet with anyone, anywhere, as long as we may do so in self-respect, demanding the respect due this Nation, and there is any slightest idea or chance of furthering this great cause of peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
When pressure mounts and strain increases everyone begins to show the weaknesses in his makeup. It is up to the Commander to conceal his: above all to conceal doubt, fear, and distrust.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There are no victories at discount prices.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
As our heart summons our strength, our wisdom must direct it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The necessary and wise subordination of the military to civil power must be sustained.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
[Children should contribute] to a family's essential survival and happiness. [In] an urban society, children are ... robbed of the opportunity to do genuinely responsible work.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I would rather have a lucky general than a smart general.... They win battles, and they make me lucky.
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
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
Teachers need our active support and encouragement. They are doing one of the most necessary and exacting jobs in the land. They are developing our most precious national resource: our children, our future citizens.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Unless each day can be looked back upon by an individual as one in which he has had some fun, some joy, some real satisfaction, that day is a loss.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
If people get together, so eventually will nations.
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
I know something about that war, and I never want to see that history repeated. But, my fellow Americans, it certainly can be repeated if the peace-loving democratic nations again fearfully practice a policy of standing idly by while big aggressors use armed force to conquer the small and weak.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
[T]he rule of law does more than ensure freedom from high-handed action by rulers. It ensures justice between man and man however humble the one and however powerful the other. A man with five dollars in the bank can call to account the corporation with five billion dollars in assets-and the two will be heard as equals before the law.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Any nations right to a form of government and economic system of its own choosing is inalienable. Any nations attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Well, it's hard for a mere man to believe that woman doesn't have equal rights.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
