FROM EISENHOWER

.






.
I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.
*
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
*
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
*
An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows.
*
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.
*
Only Americans can hurt America.
*
Though force can protect in emergency,
only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation
can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.
*
Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969)
33rd President of the United States
