Dwight D. Eisenhower
May we grow in strength — without pride in self. May we, in our dealings with all peoples of the earth, ever speak truth and serve justice. And so shall America — in the sight of all men of good will — prove true to the honorable purposes that bind and rule us as a people in all this time of trial through which we pass.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We have never stopped sin by passing laws and in the same way, we are not going to take a great moral ideal and achieve it merely by law.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Peace is more the product of our day-to-day living than of a spectacular program, intermittently executed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
