Calvin Coolidge
Inflation ist Nichtanerkennung.

Calvin Coolidge
No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist.
-
Calvin Coolidge
The business of America is business.
-
Calvin Coolidge
No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.
-
Calvin Coolidge
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

Calvin Coolidge
The man who builds a factory builds a temple; the man who works there worships there; and to each is due not scorn and blame but reverence and praise.

Calvin Coolidge
One with the law is a majority.

Man kann einem Mann nichts abgewöhnen; aber man kann ihm angewöhnen, dass er sich etwas abgewöhnt.

Dwight David Eisenhower
Geist und Einstellung des Menschen sind wichtiger als bloße physische Stärke und die geistige Kraft einer Nation entscheidender als ihr Reichtum.

Dwight David Eisenhower
The essence of war is fire, famine, and pestilence. They contribute to its outbreak; they are among its weapons; they become its consequences.

Dwight David Eisenhower
Unser Wunsch ist eine Welt, die in Freiheit und nicht in Sklaverei lebt.

Dwight David Eisenhower
The world must learn to work together, or finally it will not work at all.

Dwight David Eisenhower
With a full century of contrary proof in our possession and despite our demonstrated capacity for cooperative teamwork, some among us seem to accept the shibboleth of an unbridgeable gap between those who hire and those who are employed. We miserably fail to challenge the lie that what is good for management is necessarily bad for labor; that for one side to profit, the other must be depressed. Such distorted doctrine is false and foreign to the American scene where common ideals and purpose permit us a common approach toward the common good.

Dwight David Eisenhower
More than ever before, in our country, this is the age fo the individual. Endowed with the accumulated knowledge of centures, armed with all the instruments of modern science, he is still assured personal freedom and wide avenues of expression so that he may win for himself, his family and his country greater material comfort, ease and happiness; greater spiritual satisfaction and contentment.

Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from a corn field.

Dwight David Eisenhower
The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth.

Dwight David Eisenhower
Our American heritage is threatened as much by our own indifference as it is by the most unscrupulous office or by the most powerful foreign threat. The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter.

Dwight David Eisenhower
This is what I found out about religion: It gives you courage to make the decisions you must make in a crisis, and then the confidence to leave the result to a higher Power. Only by trust in God can a man carrying responsibility find repose.

Dwight David 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.

Jeder Tag hat zwei Henkel. Wir können ihn entweder an dem der Zaghaftigkeit anpacken oder an dem der Zuversicht.
