More quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower

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.

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.

Dwight D. Eisenhower
Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.
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
Only a fool would try to deprive working men and working women of their right to join the union of their choice.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The proudest thing I can claim is that I am from Abilene.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Organizations cannot make a genius out of an incompetent. On the other hand, disorganization can scarcely fail to result in efficiency.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
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
It is still a fact that our common frontier grows stronger every year, defended only by friendship.
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
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
For any American who had the great and priceless privilege of being raised in a small town there always remains with him nostalgic memories... And the older he grows the more he senses what he owed to the simple honesty and neighborliness, the integrity that he saw all around him in those days.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
By mutual respect, understanding and with good will we can find acceptable solutions to any problems which exist or may arise between us.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
