Es reicht nicht aus, zu wissen, wie die Freiheit gewonnen wurde. Genauso wichtig ist, wachsam gegenüber den Bedrohungen dieser Freiheit zu sein.

Was nicht auf einer einzigen Manuskriptseite zusammengefasst werden kann, ist weder durchdacht, noch entscheidungsreif.

Ideologen sind Leute, die glauben, daß die Menschheit besser sei als der Mensch.

Dwight David Eisenhower
Kein weiser oder tapferer Mann legt sich auf die Schienen der Geschichte und wartet, daß der Zug der Zukunft ihn überfährt.

I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

Dwight David Eisenhower
You have broader considerations that might follow what you might call the 'falling domino' principle. You have a row of dominoes set up. You knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is that it will go over very quickly. So you have the beginning of a disintegration that would have the most profound influences.

Dwight David 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. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

Eine Armee ist bestimmt dann ganz demokratisch, wenn ein Oberleutnant damit rechnen muß, daß sein Rekrut von heute sein Bürovorsteher von morgen ist.

American working men are principals in the threemember team of capital, management, labor. Never have they regarded themselves as a servile class that could attain freedom only through destruction of the industrial economy.

Dwight David Eisenhower
Every gathering of Americans - whether a few on the porch of a crossroads store or massed thousands in a great stadium - is the possessor of a potentially immeasurable influence on the future.

I don't think the United States needs superpatriots. We need patriotism, honestly practiced by all of us, and we don't need these people that are more patriotic than you or anyone else.

Dwight David Eisenhower
Men of widely divergent views in our own country live in peace together because they share certain common aspirations which are more important than their differences . . . The common responsibility of all Americans is to become effective, helpful participants in a way of life that blends and harmonizes the fiercely competitive demands of the individual and society.

Dwight David Eisenhower
Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first happen in the heart of America. More than escape from death, it is a way of life. More than a haven for the weary, it is a hope for the brave.

Dwight David Eisenhower
Knowledge - full, unfettered knowledge of its own heritage, of freedoms's enemies, of the whole world of men and ideas - this knowledge is a free people's surest strength.

Dwight David Eisenhower
Through knowledge and understanding we will drive from the temple of freedom all who seek to establish over us thought control - whether they be agents of a foreign power or demagogues thirsty for personal power and public notice.

Dwight David Eisenhower
It is not a struggle merely of economic theories, or forms of government or of military power. At issue is the true nature of man. Either man is the creature whom the psalmist described as a little lower than the angels . . . or man is a soulless, animated machine to be enslaved, used and consumed by the state for its own glorification. It is, therefore, a struggle which goes to the roots of the human spirit, and its shadow falls across the long sweep of man's destiny.

Dwight David Eisenhower
I despise all adjectives that try to descirbe people as liberal or conservative, rightist or leftist, as long as they stay in the useful part of the road.

Dwight David Eisenhower
I get weary of the European habit of taking our money, resenting any slight hint as to what they should do, and then assuming, in addition, full right to criticize us as bitterly as they may desire.

Dwight David Eisenhower
There is no such thing as human superiority.

Dwight David Eisenhower
We believe that our truly urgent need is to make our nation secure, our economy strong and our dollar sound. For every American this matter of the sound dollar is crucial. Without a sound dollar, every American family would face a renewal of inflation, an ever-increasing cost of living, the withering away of savings and life insurance policies.
