More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
The world must know what happened, and never forget.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Never be more scared of the enemy than you think he is of you.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The national government was itself the creature of the States...Yet today it is often made to appear that the creature, Frankenstein-like, is determined to destroy the creators.
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.

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

Dwight D. Eisenhower
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I'm for each and against none.
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
Work should be for all of us a word as honorable and appealing as patriotism.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Every step we take towards making the State our Caretaker of our lives, by that much we move toward making the State our Master.
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
Any time we deny any citizen the full exercise of his constitutional rights, we are weakening our own claim to them.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I’m going to pass a law that no one can ask me my golf score.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Every battle is going to surprise you. No plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
