More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
Some years ago I became president of Columbia University and learned within 24 hours to be ready to speak at the drop of a hat, and I learned something more, the trustees were expected to be ready to speak at the passing of the hat.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We know something of the cost of that war. We were in it from December seventh, '41, till August of '45. Ever since that time, we have been waging peace. It has had its ups and downs just as the war did.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
For any American who had the great and priceless privilege of being raised in a small town there always remains with him nostalgic memories... And the older he grows the more he senses what he owed to the simple honesty and neighborliness, the integrity that he saw all around him in those days.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Arms alone can give the world no permanent peace, no confident security. Arms are solely for defense - to protect from violent assault what we already have. They are only a costly insurance. They cannot add to human progress.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have said time and again there is no place on this earth to which I would not travel, there is no chore I would not undertake if I had any faintest hope that, by so doing, I would promote the general cause of world peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
They [the founders] proclaimed to all the world the revolutionary doctrine of the divine rights of the common man. That doctrine has ever since been the heart of the American faith.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
If you are waging peace, you can't be too particular sometimes about the special attitudes that different countries take. We were a young country once, and our whole policy for the first 150 years was, we were neutral.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Never waste a minute thinking about people you don't like.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Remember that it is not by a tyrant's words, but only by his deeds that we can know him.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I believe we must be strong militarily, but beyond a certain point military strength can become a national weakness.
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
It is better to have one person working with you than three people working for you.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have found out in later years that we were very poor, but the glory of America is that we didn't know it then.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Forces of good and evil are massed and armed and opposed as rarely before in history. Freedom is pitted against slavery lightness against the dark... In the final choice, a soldier's pack is not so heavy a burden as a prisoner's chains.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I come from the very heart of America.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
One small ball in the air. I wouldn't believe that at this moment you have to fear the intelligence aspects of this.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The one weapon every man, soldier, sailor, or airman should be able to use effectively is the rifle.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Probably no one here knows I coached a football team - a service team - playing against Georgetown. I think it was in the fall of 1924 Lou Little was your coach, and he beat us. But it was a very happy circumstance, because it brought me the friendship of another man, Lou Little, who to this day remains my very warm associate and friend.
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
Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.
