More from Dwight Eisenhower
"I can think of nothing more important than to try to make the world a better place."
"There's no point in being a pessimist, it won't work."
"I firmly believe that the only way to meet the challenge of the future is to face it with courage and with confidence."
"I refuse to believe that the world is so divided that we cannot find common ground."
"The world needs a sense of humor. It needs people who can laugh at themselves."
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.
