More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
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.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
How far have we come in man's long pilgrimage from darkness toward light? Are we nearing the light-a day of freedom and of peace for all mankind? Or are the shadows of another night closing in upon us?
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Forces of good and evil are massed and armed and opposed as rarely before in history. Freedom is pitted against slavery lightness against the dark... In the final choice, a soldier's pack is not so heavy a burden as a prisoner's chains.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The eyes of the world are upon you.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Only by trusting in God can a man carrying responsibility find repose.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Don't join the book burners. Do not think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
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
Work should be for all of us a word as honorable and appealing as patriotism.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
To blend, without coercion, the individual good and the common good is the essence of citizenship in a free country.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There is no victory at bargain basement prices.
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
We have heard much of the phrase, peace and friendship. This phrase, in expressing the aspiration of America, is not complete. We should say instead, peace and friendship, in freedom. This, I think, is America's real message to the rest of the world.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Art is a universal language and through it each nation makes its own unique contribution to the culture of mankind.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Accomplishment will prove to be a journey, not a destination.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Every battle is going to surprise you. No plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The one weapon every man, soldier, sailor, or airman should be able to use effectively is the rifle.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Arms alone can give the world no permanent peace, no confident security. Arms are solely for defense - to protect from violent assault what we already have. They are only a costly insurance. They cannot add to human progress.
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
