Don't join the book burners. Don't think you're going to conceal thoughts by concealing books.

More from Dwight Eisenhower
"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
"I have only one ambition, and that is to be President of the United States."
"Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."
"The United States is not a nation of cowards, but a nation of courage."
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."
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.
