More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
Beware the military-industrial complex.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Politics is a profession a serious, complicated and, in its true sense, a noble one.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The world no longer has a choice between force and law if civilization is to survive, it must choose the rule of law.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well-trained, well-equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Like all successful politicians I married above myself.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There are three stages of life: youth, maturity, and 'My, you're looking good!'
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The seeker is never so popular as the sought. People want what they can't get.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Beware the influence of the military-industrial complex.
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
The one weapon every man, soldier, sailor, or airman should be able to use effectively is the rifle. It is always his weapon of personal safety in an emergency, and for many it is the primary weapon of offence and defense. Expertness in its use cannot be over emphasized.
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
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
Some politician some years ago said that bad officials are elected by good voters who do not vote.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The qualities of a great man are vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation, and profundity of character.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Freedom bestows on us the priceless gift of opportunity - if we neglect our opportunities we shall certainly lose our freedom.
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
Any survey of the free world's defense structure cannot fail to impart a feeling of regret that so much of our effort and resources must be devoted to armaments.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
