More quotes by 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
What the church should be telling the worker is that the first demand religion makes on him is that he should be a good workman. If he is a carpenter he should be a competent carpenter. Church by all means on Sundays-but what is the use of church if at the very center of life a man defrauds his neighbor and insults God by poor craftsmanship.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Peace is more the product of our day-to-day living than of a spectacular program, intermittently executed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In opposing Communism, we are defeating ourselves if we use methods that do not conform to the American sense of justice.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The United States strongly seeks a lasting agreement for the discontinuance of nuclear weapons tests. We believe that this would be an important step toward reduction of international tensions and would open the way to further agreement on substantial measures of disarmament.
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
America is best described by one word, freedom.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The free world knows, out of the bitter wisdom of experience, that vigilance and sacrifice are the price of liberty.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We merely want to live in peace with all the world.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Unless each day can be looked back upon by an individual as one in which he has had some fun, some joy, some real satisfaction, that day is a loss.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I never saw a pessimistic general win a battle.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
No treaty or international agreement can contravene the Constitution.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Arms alone can give the world no permanent peace, no confident security. Arms are solely for defense - to protect from violent assault what we already have. They are only a costly insurance. They cannot add to human progress.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The necessary and wise subordination of the military to civil power must be sustained.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Before a battle, planning is everything. Once the fighting has begun, it's worthless
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Beware the influence of the military-industrial complex.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The true purpose of education is to prepare young men and women for effective citizenship in a free form of government.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
