More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
Without a doubt, psychological warfare has proven its right to a place of dignity in our military arsenal.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have spent my life in the study of military strength as a deterrent to war, and in the character of military armaments necessary to win a war. The study of the first of these questions is still profitable, but we are rapidly getting to the point that no war can be won.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I'm for each and against none.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Life is certainly only worthwhile as it represents struggle for worthy causes. There is no struggle in perfect security. I am quite certain that the human being could not continue to exist if he or she had perfect security.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
So long as we govern our nation by the letter and spirit of the Bill of Rights, we can be sure that our nation will grow in strength and wisdom and freedom.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Morale is the greatest single factor in successful wars.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
But all history has taught us the grim lesson that no nation has ever been successful in avoiding the terrors of war by refusing to defend its rights - by attempting to placate aggression.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
As our heart summons our strength, our wisdom must direct it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I will not get into a pissing contest with that skunk [Joseph McCarthy].
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There can be no peace without law.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Teachers need our active support and encouragement. They are doing one of the most necessary and exacting jobs in the land. They are developing our most precious national resource: our children, our future citizens.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I’m going to pass a law that no one can ask me my golf score.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I was against it on two counts. First, the Japanese were ready to surrender, and it wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing. Second, I hated to see our country be the first to use such a weapon.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
More than any single action by the government since the end of the war, this one would change the face of America with straightaways, cloverleaf turns, bridges, and elongated parkways. Its impact on the American economy-the jobs it would produce in manufacturing and construction, the rural areas it would open up-was beyond calculation.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The more baseball the better. It is a healthful sport and develops team play and initiative, plus an independent attitude.
