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.

More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
It is still a fact that our common frontier grows stronger every year, defended only by friendship.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Morale - the will to win, the fighting heart - are the honored hallmarks of the football coach and player. Likewise, they are characteristic of the enterprising executive, the successful troop leader, the established artist and the dedicated teacher and scientist.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
And the next thing is that every war is going to astonish you in the way it occurred, and in the way it is carried out.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Beware the influence of the military-industrial complex.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Work should be for all of us a word as honorable and appealing as patriotism.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We do not keep security establishments merely to defend property or territory or rights abroad or at sea. We keep the security forces to defend a way of life.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Controlled, universal disarmament is the imperative of our time. The demand for it by the hundreds of millions whose chief concern is the long future of themselves and their children will, I hope, become so universal and so insistent that no man, no government anywhere, can withstand it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Politics should be the part-time profession of every citizen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Because, therefore, we are defending a way of life, we must be respectful of that way of life as we proceed to the solution of our problem. We must not violate its principles and its precepts, and we must not destroy from within what we are trying to defend from without.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There is no victory at bargain basement prices.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Well, it's hard for a mere man to believe that woman doesn't have equal rights.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
... we have been warned by the power of modern weapons, that peace may be the only climate possible for human life itself ... There must be law, steadily invoked and respected by all nations, for without law, the world promises only such meager justice as the pity of the strong upon the weak.
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
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
The eyes of the world are upon you.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The quest for peace is the statesman's most exacting duty... Practical progress to lasting peace is his fondest hope.
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
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
