Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower
Plans are useless, but planning is essential.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
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
I thought it completely absurd to mention my name in the same breath as the presidency.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
One small ball in the air. I wouldn't believe that at this moment you have to fear the intelligence aspects of this.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
To blend, without coercion, the individual good and the common good is the essence of citizenship in a free country.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In the service, when a man gives you his word, his word is binding. In politics, you never know.
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
The qualities of a great man are vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation, and profundity of character.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
