The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice; their choice!
Dwight D. Eisenhower -
It is unwise to make education too cheap. If everything is provided freely, there is a tendency to put no value on anything. Education must always have a certain price on it; even as the very process of learning itself must always require individual effort and initiative.
Dwight D. Eisenhower -
I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?
Dwight D. Eisenhower -
Our pleasures were simple - they included survival.
Dwight D. Eisenhower -
I share the sense of shock and dismay that the entire nation must feel at the despicable act that took the life of the nation's president. On the personal side, Mrs. Eisenhower and I share the grief that Mrs. Kennedy must now feel. We send to her our prayerful thoughts and sympathetic sentiments in this hour.

These proposals spring, without ulterior motive or political passion, from our calm conviction that the hunger for peace is in the hearts of all people - those of Russia and of China no less than of our own country. They conform to our firm faith that God created man to enjoy, not destroy, the fruits of the earth and of their own toil.
Dwight D. Eisenhower -
We –finally-look upon change, the every-unfolding future, with confidence rather than doubt, hope rather than fear. We, as a people, were born of revolution. And we have lived by change-always a frontier people, exploring-if not new wilderness-then new science and new knowledge.
Dwight D. Eisenhower -
The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without.

The gravity of the time is such that every new avenue of peace, no matter how dimly discernible, should be explored.
Dwight D. Eisenhower -
Don't join the book burners. Do not think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed.
