Through unity of action we can be a veritable colossus in support of peace. No one can defeat us unless we first defeat ourselves. Every one of us must be guided by this truth.

Don't join the book burners. Don't think you are going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go in your library and read every book.

Church by all means on Sunday. 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?

From behind the Iron Curtain, there are signs that tyranny is in trouble and reminders that its structure is as brittle as its surface is hard.

Dwight David Eisenhower
The hope of freedom depends in real measure upon our strength, our heart, and our wisdom. We must be strong in arms. We must be strong in the source of all our armament - our productivity. We all - workers and farmers, foremen and financiers, technicians and builders - all must produce, produce more and produce yet more. We must be strong, above all, in the spiritual resources upon which all else depends. We must be devoted with all our heart to the values we defend. We must know that each of these values and virutes applies with equal force at the ends of the earth and in our relations with our neighbor next door.

Dwight David Eisenhower

To have a free, peaceful and prosperous world we must be ever stronger . . . particularly in the spiritual things . . . It is American belief in decency and justice and progress and the value of individual liberty because of the rights conferred on each of us by our Creator that will carry us through . . .There must be something in the heart as well as in the head.

I firmly believe that the army of persons who urge greater and greater centralization of authority and greater and greater dependence upon the Federal Treasury are really more dangerous to our form of government than any external threat that can possibly be arrayed against us.

Dwight David Eisenhower
There is a kind of dictatorship that can come about through a creeping paralysis of thought, readiness to accept paternalistic measures by government, and along with those measure comes a surrender of our own responsibilities and therefore a surrender of our own thought over our own lives and our own right to exercise the vote. The free system gives the right to every citizen to do something for himself. Because he has the right, the opportunity is always there.

You do not lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership.

Sweet praise like perfume. It is fine if you don't swallow it.

Dwight David Eisenhower
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.

Ich bin überzeugt, daß es auf die Dauer keine Möglichkeit gibt, Sicherheit und Frieden Westeuropas zu erhalten, wenn die europäische Einigung nicht erreicht wird.

Dwight David Eisenhower
There are all sort of things to be done in this country. I see no reason why the sums which are now going into these sterile, negative mechanisms that we call war munitions shouldn't go into something positive.
