More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Recognition of the Supreme Being was the first - the most basic - expression of Americanism.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The search for a scapegoat is the easiest of all hunting expeditions.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We look upon this shaken earth, and we declare our firm and fixed purpose - the building of a peace with justice in a world where moral law prevails.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
What the church should be telling the worker is that the first demand religion makes on him is that he should be a good workman. If he is a carpenter he should be a competent carpenter. Church by all means on Sundays-but what is the use of church if at the very center of life a man defrauds his neighbor and insults God by poor craftsmanship.
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
War is a contest, and you finally get to a point where you are talking merely about race suicide, and nothing else.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Only a fool would try to deprive working men and working women of their right to join the union of their choice.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.
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
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities ... We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
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
I never saw a pessimistic general win a battle.
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 think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Politics is a profession a serious, complicated and, in its true sense, a noble one.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The one quality that can be developed by studious reflection and practice is the leadership of men.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Well, it's hard for a mere man to believe that woman doesn't have equal rights.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Peace signifies more than the stilling of guns, easing the sorrow of war. More than escape from death, it is a way of life. More than a haven for the weary, it is a hope for the brave.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
