Dwight D. Eisenhower
Leadership is the ability to get a person to do what you want him to do, when you want it done, in a way you want it done, because he wants to do it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
[Not achieving a nuclear test ban] would have to be classed as the greatest disappointment of any administration of any decade, of any time and of any party.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Leadership is the ability to decide what is to be done and then get others to do it.
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
