This world of ours…must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
Together we must learn how to compose difference, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
How far can you go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without?
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
War settles nothing.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
“War settles nothing.” That is a foolish statement. The use of force has settled almost every conflict ever settled.
War is a failure of diplomacy.
Most people are willing to cheer for war, but not willing to risk their lives for “the cause”. Those people are not to be taken seriously.
Eisenhower in 2016!
War is confirmation that man’s greed and lust for power are immune to the lessons of history.
Both my husband and I were willing to serve and risk our lives for the “cause.” What we are not willing to do is risk our son’s life just because some idiot thinks he is disposable.
Been there. Done that. Have the T-shirt.
