More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
I believe that without free enterprise there can be no democracy.
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
You will enter the continent of Europe and, in conjunction with the other United Nations, undertake operations aimed at the heart of Germany and the destruction of her armed forces.
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
No people on earth can be held, as a people, to be an enemy, for all humanity shares the common hunger for peace and fellowship and justice.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Probably no one here knows I coached a football team - a service team - playing against Georgetown. I think it was in the fall of 1924 Lou Little was your coach, and he beat us. But it was a very happy circumstance, because it brought me the friendship of another man, Lou Little, who to this day remains my very warm associate and friend.
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
The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.
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
I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens.
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
If Berlin fell, the US would lose Europe, and if Europe fell into the hands of the Soviet Union and thus added its great industrial plant to the USSR's already great industrial plant, the United States would be reduced to the character of a garrison state if it were to survive at all.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
From behind the Iron Curtain, there are signs that tyranny is in trouble and reminders that its structure is as brittle as its surface is hard.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We merely want to live in peace with all the world.
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
The clearest way to show what the rule of law means to us in everyday life is to recall what has happened when there is no rule of law.
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’m going to pass a law that no one can ask me my golf score.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The unity of all who dwell in freedom is their only sure defense.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The best morale exist when you never hear the word mentioned. When you hear a lot of talk about it, it's usually lousy.
