More from Dwight Eisenhower
"Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him."
"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 greatest mistake in life is to be continually fearing you will make one."
"I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than to dwell in the tents of wickedness."
"The world is a dangerous place, and we must be prepared to defend ourselves."
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.
