More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
The world must learn to work together, or finally it will not work at all.
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

Dwight D. Eisenhower
I come from the very heart of America.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower
That was not the biggest battle that ever was, but for me it always typified one thing the dash, the ingenuity, the readiness at the first opportunity that characterizes the American soldier.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
May we grow in strength — without pride in self. May we, in our dealings with all peoples of the earth, ever speak truth and serve justice. And so shall America — in the sight of all men of good will — prove true to the honorable purposes that bind and rule us as a people in all this time of trial through which we pass.
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
We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There can be no peace without law.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
A good teacher is one who can understand those who are not very good at explaining, and explain to those who are not very good at understanding.
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

Dwight D. Eisenhower
