More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
I deplore the need or the use of troops anywhere to get American citizens to obey the orders of constituted courts.
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

Dwight D. Eisenhower
The one weapon every man, soldier, sailor, or airman should be able to use effectively is the rifle.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
America's leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Recognition of the Supreme Being was the first - the most basic - expression of Americanism.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Only by trusting in God can a man carrying responsibility find repose.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
It is my personal conviction that almost any one of the newborn states of the world would far rather embrace Communism or any other form of dictatorship than acknowledge the political domination of another government, even though that brought to each citizen a far higher standard of living.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Statesmanship is developed in the hard knocks of general experience, private and public.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I come from the very heart of America.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Every battle is going to surprise you. No plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
You realise Group Captain that this might be the most important weather forecast in history?
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
Only Americans can hurt America.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The necessary and wise subordination of the military to civil power must be sustained.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
