Peace signifies more than the stilling of guns, easing the sorrow of war. More than escape from death, it is a way of life. More than a haven for the weary, it is a hope for the brave.

Some years ago I became president of Columbia University and learned within 24 hours to be ready to speak at the drop of a hat, and I learned something more, the trustees were expected to be ready to speak at the passing of the hat.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
And now, as in no other age, we seek it [peace] because we have been warned, by the power of modern weapons, that peace may be the only climate possible for human life itself.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
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

I shall make that trip. I shall go to Korea.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
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
Image
I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
There is no such thing as human superiority.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
The day will come when the people will make so insistent their demand that there be peace in the world that the Governments will get out of the way and let them have peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
[Children should contribute] to a family's essential survival and happiness. [In] an urban society, children are ... robbed of the opportunity to do genuinely responsible work.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
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
Image
Always try to associate yourself with and learn as much as you can from those who know more than you do, who do better than you, who see more clearly than you.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
[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.
