More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
The one weapon every man, soldier, sailor, or airman should be able to use effectively is the rifle. It is always his weapon of personal safety in an emergency, and for many it is the primary weapon of offence and defense. Expertness in its use cannot be over emphasized.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Without a doubt, psychological warfare has proven its right to a place of dignity in our military arsenal.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Leadership is the ability to decide what is to be done and then get others to do it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
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
I would rather have a lucky general than a smart general.... They win battles, and they make me lucky.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Freedom bestows on us the priceless gift of opportunity - if we neglect our opportunities we shall certainly lose our freedom.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In the service, when a man gives you his word, his word is binding. In politics, you never know.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Before a battle, planning is everything. Once the fighting has begun, it's worthless
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Plans are useless, but planning is essential.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
When shallow critics denounce the profit motive inherent in our system of private enterprise, they ignore the fact that it is an economic support of every human right we possess and without it, all rights would disappear.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Censorship, in my opinion, is a stupid and shallow way of approaching the solution to any problem.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
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
The hand of the aggressor is stayed by strength - and strength alone.
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
I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We merely want to live in peace with all the world, to trade with them, to commune with them, to learn from their culture as they may learn from ours, so that the products of our toil may be used for our schools and our roads and our churches and not for guns and planes and tanks and ships of war.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Work should be for all of us a word as honorable and appealing as patriotism.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I believe it is a tradition in baseball that when a pitcher has a no-hitter going, no one reminds him of it.
