More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
If you are waging peace, you can't be too particular sometimes about the special attitudes that different countries take. We were a young country once, and our whole policy for the first 150 years was, we were neutral.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The one quality that can be developed by studious reflection and practice is the leadership of men.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We cannot risk living all our lives under emergency measures.
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
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
Plans are nothing planning is everything.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Never be more scared of the enemy than you think he is of you.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
For every obstacle there is a solution. Persistence is the key. The greatest mistake is giving up!
Dwight D. Eisenhower
No man is worth your tears, but once you find one that is, he won't make you cry.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
People in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than governments.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The day will come when the people will make so insistent their demand that there be peace in the world that the Governments will get out of the way and let them have peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have said time and again there is no place on this earth to which I would not travel, there is no chore I would not undertake if I had any faintest hope that, by so doing, I would promote the general cause of world peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In order to be a leader a man must have followers. And to have followers, a man must have their confidence.
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
Preparing for battle, plans were essential. But once the battle was joined, plans were useless.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
As our heart summons our strength, our wisdom must direct it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities ... We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Peace is more the product of our day-to-day living than of a spectacular program, intermittently executed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
