One minute I'm exactly what Churchill described me the most powerful man in history. Now the Order's given, hell I'm just audience front row center to the shoe. But a Corporal on Juno, a Private on Utah there the ones who will affect the outcome not me. It's up to them now.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
Accomplishment will prove to be a journey, not a destination.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
The world could be fixed of its problems if every child understood the necessity of their existence.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
There are three stages of life: youth, maturity, and 'My, you're looking good!'
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
No one should ever sit in this office over 70 years old, and that I know.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
Organizations cannot make a genius out of an incompetent. On the other hand, disorganization can scarcely fail to result in efficiency.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
The world no longer has a choice between force and law if civilization is to survive, it must choose the rule of law.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
Against the dark background of the atomic bomb, the United States does not wish merely to present strength, but also the desire and the hope for peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
The free world knows, out of the bitter wisdom of experience, that vigilance and sacrifice are the price of liberty.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
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.
