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

More from Dwight Eisenhower
"The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without."
"The qualities of a great man are vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation, and profundity of character."
"The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. The extremes, right and left, are in the gutters."
"There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what is right."
"I have seen too much of war to ever want to see it again."
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.
