More from Dwight Eisenhower
"The more I study history, the more I am convinced that the only way to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past is to learn from them."
"The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without."
"The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth."
"The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you."
"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."
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.
