More from Dwight Eisenhower

"There is no glory in battle, only death and destruction."
"An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight... The truly wise person is colorblind."
"The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it."
"The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter."
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.
