More quotes by 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
... four other pieces of equipment that most senior officers came to regard as among the most vital to our success in Africa and Europe were the bulldozer, the jeep, the 2--ton truck, and the C-47 airplane. Curiously, none of these is designed for combat.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Our American heritage is threatened as much by our own indifference as it is by the most unscrupulous office or by the most powerful foreign threat. The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter.
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
Laughter can relieve tension, soothe the pain of disappointment, and strengthen the spirit for the formidable tasks that always lie ahead.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Dollars and guns are no substitutes for brains and will power.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Censorship, in my opinion, is a stupid and shallow way of approaching the solution to any problem.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The libraries of America are and must ever remain the home of free and inquiring minds. To them, our citizens-of all ages and races, of all creeds and persuasions-must be able to turn with clear confidence that there they can freely seek the whole truth, unvarnished by fashion and uncompromised by expediency.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
America is best described by one word, freedom.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The purpose is clear. It is safety with solvency. The country is entitled to both.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There can be no true disarmament without peace, and there can be no real peace without very material disarmament.
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 thought it completely absurd to mention my name in the same breath as the presidency.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I also ache at that thought your majesty... But if they do not offer the sacrifice in blood now, we will all pay dearly with added gallons later. So if some most die it is in a worthy cause.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
For a just and lasting peace, here is my solemn pledge to you: by dedication and patience we will continue, as long as I remain your President, to work for this simple - this single - this exclusive goal.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There are three stages of life: youth, maturity, and 'My, you're looking good!'
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I firmly believe that the army of persons who urge greater and greater centralization of authority and greater and greater dependence upon the Federal Treasury are really more dangerous to our form of government than any external threat that can possibly be arrayed against us.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Like all successful politicians I married above myself.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
When pressure mounts and strain increases everyone begins to show the weaknesses in his makeup. It is up to the Commander to conceal his: above all to conceal doubt, fear, and distrust.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom. And now, as in no other age, we seek it 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
