More from Dwight Eisenhower
"The true purpose of education is to prepare young men and women for effective citizenship in a free society."
"I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than to dwell in the tents of wickedness."
"The path to peace is not an easy one. It is fraught with peril and uncertainty."
"The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth."
"It is a truism that the only way to get a good job is to do a good job."
About Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969)
Five-star Allied Supreme Commander in WWII Europe and 34th US President (1953-1961), whose January 1961 farewell address coined 'military-industrial complex.' Closely associated with George C. Marshall (his Army mentor and the Marshall Plan author) and Douglas MacArthur (Pacific Theater rival). For an intellectual contrast, see Joseph McCarthy, Wisconsin Republican senator (1947-1957) — Eisenhower privately despised McCarthy's Communist witch-hunt tactics but publicly tolerated him until McCarthy attacked the US Army in 1954; Ike's quiet engineering of the Army-McCarthy hearings undid McCarthy and ended the worst phase of McCarthyism. The establishment-Republican vs anti-establishment-Republican fault line that still defines the GOP.
