Dwight Eisenhower

I can only say that I have tried to do my best, and that I have tried to do what I believed to be right.

There's no point in being a pessimist, it won't work.

It is a truism that the only way to get a good job is to do a good job.

The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter.

I come from the very heart of America, and I know what the people want.

The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth.

I firmly believe that the only way to meet the challenge of the future is to face it with courage and with confidence.

There must be a spiritual awakening in America, or we will perish.

The greatest asset of any nation is the character of its people.

I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as President.

The world is not a dangerous place because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

The American people are tired of empty promises and political double talk.

I firmly believe that the American people will always choose the right path, once they are shown the facts.

The best way to solve a problem is to prevent it.

I have full confidence in the common sense and good judgment of the American people.

Some of our people have been so indoctrinated that they can't think for themselves. They just follow the party line.

The American people are tired of the demagogues and the phonies. They want a straight answer.

I don't think any man should be President for more than two terms. It's too much power for one man.

The problem in this country is that too many people are looking for a handout and not enough are willing to work.

I'm not a politician. I'm a soldier. And I'm going to run this country like a soldier.
