Dwight D. Eisenhower Quotes

"We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of free""There is a thin thread that runs through all the complex""In the good years, make sure you're good to the land""An unprepared team is beaten already""There is no victory at bargain basement prices""The best way to win the battle against the enemy is to fight it in the heart of our own country""In the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence whether sought or unsought by the military-industrial complex""Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free""We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it""You don’t lead by hitting people over the head that’s assault, not leadership""Plans are nothing; planning is everything""I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem and that yardstick is Is it good for America""In the final choice, a soldier's pack is not so heavy as a prisoner's chains""I would rather try to persuade a man to go along because once I have persuaded him he will stick. If I scare him he will stay just as long as he is scared and then he is gone""Without God there could be no American form of government nor an American way of life""The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. The extremes, right and left, are in the gutters""The world must learn to work together or finally it will not work at all""Only Americans can hurt America""There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs""The best morale exists when you never hear the word mentioned. When you hear a lot of talk about it, it's usually lousy"
