More from Dwight Eisenhower
"We must never forget that these are not just statistics we are talking about, but human beings."
"Don't join the book burners. Don't think you're going to conceal thoughts by concealing books."
"The more I study history, the more I am convinced that the only way to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past is to learn from them."
"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it."
"Some people wanted me to be a politician. I wanted to be a soldier. And I've always been a soldier."
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.
