Dwight D. Eisenhower
The only way to win World War III is to prevent it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We do not keep security establishments merely to defend property or territory or rights abroad or at sea. We keep the security forces to defend a way of life.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
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.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Our best protection against bigger government in Washington is better government in the states.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower
The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Morale - the will to win, the fighting heart - are the honored hallmarks of the football coach and player. Likewise, they are characteristic of the enterprising executive, the successful troop leader, the established artist and the dedicated teacher and scientist.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
May the light of freedom, coming to all darkened lands, flame brightly - until at last the darkness is no more.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower
You have a row of dominoes set up you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is that it will go over very quickly.
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
I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Among these treasures of our land is water-fast becoming our most valuable, most prized, most critical resource. A blessing where properly used-but it can bring devastation and ruin when left uncontrolled.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
God, I hate the Germans.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The United States strongly seeks a lasting agreement for the discontinuance of nuclear weapons tests. We believe that this would be an important step toward reduction of international tensions and would open the way to further agreement on substantial measures of disarmament.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
