I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Love of liberty means the guarding of every resource that makes freedom possible-from the sanctity of our families and the wealth of our soil to the genius [of] our scientists.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Work should be for all of us a word as honorable and appealing as patriotism.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
First, separate ground, sea and air warfare is gone forever. If ever again we should be involved in war, we will fight it in all elements, with all services, as one single concentrated effort.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
As for myself and for the Secretary of State and others involved, including those in the Legislature, we stand ready to do anything, to meet with anyone, anywhere, as long as we may do so in self-respect, demanding the respect due this Nation, and there is any slightest idea or chance of furthering this great cause of peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower
We have heard much of the phrase, peace and friendship. This phrase, in expressing the aspiration of America, is not complete. We should say instead, peace and friendship, in freedom. This, I think, is America's real message to the rest of the world.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The building of such a peace is a bold and solemn purpose. To proclaim it is easy. To serve it will be hard. And to attain it, we must be aware of its full meaning - and ready to pay its full price.
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
In this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The eyes of the world are upon you.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Take your job seriously, but not yourself
Dwight D. Eisenhower
It is better to have one person working with you than three people working for you.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I would rather have a lucky general than a smart general.... They win battles, and they make me lucky.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The best morale exist when you never hear the word mentioned. When you hear a lot of talk about it, it's usually lousy.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
