More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America.
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
We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.
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
Art is a universal language and through it each nation makes its own unique contribution to the culture of mankind.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Of course Overlord did not fail. How could it? With some many fine young men and women from all corners of the earth all determined to do their best to free a world gone half mad.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In order to be a leader a man must have followers. And to have followers, a man must have their confidence.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Teachers need our active support and encouragement. They are doing one of the most necessary and exacting jobs in the land. They are developing our most precious national resource: our children, our future citizens.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have spent my life in the study of military strength as a deterrent to war, and in the character of military armaments necessary to win a war. The study of the first of these questions is still profitable, but we are rapidly getting to the point that no war can be won.
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 most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I would rather have a lucky general than a smart general.... They win battles, and they make me lucky.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The gravity of the time is such that every new avenue of peace, no matter how dimly discernible, should be explored.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
[T]he rule of law does more than ensure freedom from high-handed action by rulers. It ensures justice between man and man however humble the one and however powerful the other. A man with five dollars in the bank can call to account the corporation with five billion dollars in assets-and the two will be heard as equals before the law.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Organizations cannot make a genius out of an incompetent. On the other hand, disorganization can scarcely fail to result in efficiency.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The purpose is clear. It is safety with solvency. The country is entitled to both.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I come from the very heart of America.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
