Dwight D. Eisenhower
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities ... We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower
Only by trusting in God can a man carrying responsibility find repose.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have just realized that it is due to you, and to Mr. James Thomas and his staff of the Army Navy Country Club that the putting green here on the White House lawn is already in such excellent condition. I assure you that I get a great deal of pleasure and relaxation out of using the green in an occasional late afternoon hour . . .
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
For all that we cherish and justly desire - for ourselves or for our children - the securing of peace is the first requisite.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Recognition of the Supreme Being was the first - the most basic - expression of Americanism.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
If progress is to be steady we must have long term guides extending far ahead.
