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.

More from Dwight Eisenhower
"The United States must not be a nation that seeks to dominate others, but one that seeks to cooperate."
"The only thing more difficult than leading men is leading women."
"There is no glory in battle save in the fulfillment of duty."
"The American way of life is based on the conviction that a man has the right to achieve as much as he can, limited only by his ability and his willingness to work."
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
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.
