Eisenhower quotes
It would have been Dwight D. Eisenhower's birthday today, and honestly, I couldn't bear to cut any of today's quotes from him.
I wish the Republicans paid more attention to him and less to 'St. Ronnie.'

- Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
- By leadership we mean the art of getting someone else to do something that you want done because he wants to do it.
- Unless each day can be looked back upon by an individual as one in which he has had some fun, some joy, some real satisfaction, that day is a loss.
- We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.
- 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 laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
- The best morale exists when you never hear the word mentioned. When you hear a lot of talk about it, it's usually lousy.
- Un-American activity cannot be prevented or routed out by employing un-American methods; to preserve freedom we must use the tools that freedom provides.
I wish the Republicans paid more attention to him and less to 'St. Ronnie.'
