... we have been warned by the power of modern weapons, that peace may be the only climate possible for human life itself ... There must be law, steadily invoked and respected by all nations, for without law, the world promises only such meager justice as the pity of the strong upon the weak.

Through knowledge and understanding we will drive from the temple of freedom all who seek to establish over us thought control - whether they be agents of a foreign power or demagogues thirsty for personal power and public notice.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
Peace is more the product of our day-to-day living than of a spectacular program, intermittently executed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
I was against it on two counts. First, the Japanese were ready to surrender, and it wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing. Second, I hated to see our country be the first to use such a weapon.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Our best protection against bigger government in Washington is better government in the states.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
If we make ourselves worthy of America's ideals, if we do not forget that our nation was founded on the premise that all men are creatures of God's making, the world will come to know that it is free men who carry forward the true promise of human progress and dignity.

There is no victory at bargain basement prices.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
There are a number of things wrong with Washington. One of them is that everyone is too far from home.
