The peace we seek and need me...

The peace we seek and need means much more than mere absence of war. It means the acceptance of law, and the fostering of justice, in all the world.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

I would rather have a lucky general than a smart general.... They win battles, and they make me lucky.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

When shallow critics denounce the profit motive inherent in our system of private enterprise, they ignore the fact that it is an economic support of every human right we possess and without it, all rights would disappear.

Only by trusting in God can a man carrying responsibility find repose.

Not making the baseball team at West Point was one of the greatest disappointments of my life, maybe my greatest.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

For a just and lasting peace, here is my solemn pledge to you: by dedication and patience we will continue, as long as I remain your President, to work for this simple - this single - this exclusive goal.

In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans' organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

Men and women, inspired by fa...

Men and women, inspired by faith in man's dignity, goaded by conviction in man's responsibility, labored that this land might be a better home for those who followed them. Because every American generation attacked its problems with fresh vigor, we have peopled a continent, subdued its prairies and wilderness, tamed its rivers and devoted its resources to the betterment of those who dwell in it.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

Nothing is easy in war. Mista...

Nothing is easy in war. Mistakes are always paid for in casualties and troops are quick to sense any blunder made by their commanders.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

Peace is more the product of ...

Peace is more the product of our day-to-day living than of a spectacular program, intermittently executed.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

And the other was this: the d...

And the other was this: the doctor did want to take off my leg because he thought it was necessary. But you must remember boys in those days were raised for two things: work, and then they made their play; and if you couldn't play baseball and box and play football, why, your life was ended. That was in our boyish minds.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

As men and women of character...

As men and women of character and of faith in the soundness of democratic methods, we must work like dogs to justify that faith.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

So - our readiness to meet an...

So - our readiness to meet and defeat this kind of possible attack is forced upon us, both as a potent preventive of actual war and to insure survival in event of attack. This alertness to danger has to be translated into specific policies and activities in the several parts of the world where our rights - our way of life - can be seriously damaged. Work of this kind occupies my days and nights.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

Love of liberty means the guarding of every resource that makes freedom possible-from the sanctity of our families and the wealth of our soil to the genius [of] our scientists.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

There is -- in world affairs ...

There is -- in world affairs -- a steady course to be followed between an assertion of strength that is truculent and a confession of helplessness that is cowardly.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

I know something about that w...

I know something about that war, and I never want to see that history repeated. But, my fellow Americans, it certainly can be repeated if the peace-loving democratic nations again fearfully practice a policy of standing idly by while big aggressors use armed force to conquer the small and weak.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

Your country, my country - ea...

Your country, my country - each is a better and stronger and more influential nation because each can rely upon every resource of the other in days of crisis. Beyond this, each can work and grow and prosper with the other through years of quiet peace.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

But I believe this: by and la...

But I believe this: by and large, the United States ought to be able to choose for its President anybody that it wants, regardless of the number of terms he has served. That is what I believe. Now, some people have said, "You let him get enough power and this will lead toward a one-party government." That, I don't believe. I have got the utmost faith in the long-term common sense of the American people. Therefore, I don't think there should be any inhibitions other than those that were in the 35-year age limit and so on. I think that was enough, myself.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

The one weapon every man, sol...

The one weapon every man, soldier, sailor, or airman should be able to use effectively is the rifle.

Dwight Eisenhower 625 quotes

Controlled, universal disarma...

Controlled, universal disarmament is the imperative of our time. The demand for it by the hundreds of millions whose chief concern is the long future of themselves and their children will, I hope, become so universal and so insistent that no man, no government anywhere, can withstand it.
