There have been many amazing Presidents in American history, including George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan, all of whom I greatly admire. ~ Donald Trump
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Donald Trump
As Dwight Eisenhower observed, Plans are worthless, but planning is everything. ~ Gretchen Rubin
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Gretchen Rubin
I played with [Dwight Eisenhower] on the day after I won the Masters at his request. We became everlasting friends. I was with him the day before he died at Walter Reed. ~ Arnold Palmer
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Arnold Palmer
Try, if you will, to imagine Dwight Eisenhower or JFK or Lyndon Johnson or, for that matter, Ronald Reagan chin-wagging with Jack Paar or Johnny Carson. Richard Nixon did, famously, go on 'Laugh In' in 1968, but as a candidate; and to his credit, he rued the day and hated every second of it. ~ Christopher Buckley
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Christopher Buckley
[My father ] came home from World War II and he voted for [Dwight] Eisenhower. He was pretty thoughtful about those things, but never, as I said, ever campaigned for anybody. He let me put a [Barry] Goldwater sticker on his pickup truck, but he never put a bumper sticker on his car. We never had a yard sign or anything in our yards, never contributed to anybody's campaign. ~ Jeff Sessions
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Jeff Sessions
The split has widened because the right has moved right, not because the left has moved left. Republican presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, and Ford all supported the Equal Rights Amendment. In 1960, the GOP platform embraced "free collective bargaining" between management and labor. REpublicans boasted of "extending the minimum wage to several million more workers" and "strengthening the unemployment insurance system and extension of its benefits." Under Dwight Eisenhower, top earners were taxed at 91 percent; in 2015, it was 40 percent. Planned Parenthood has come under serious attack from nearly all Republican presidential candidates running in 2016. Yet a founder of the organization was Peggy Goldwater, wife of the 1968 conservative Republican candidate for president Barry Goldwater. General Eisenhower called for massive invenstment in infrastructure, and now nearly all congressional Republicans see such a thing as frightening government overreach. Ronald Reagan raised the national debt and favored gun control, and now the Republican state legislature of Texas authorizes citizens to "open carry" loaded guns into churches and banks. Conservatives of yesterday seem moderate or liberal today. ~ Arlie Russell Hochschild
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Arlie Russell Hochschild
Frederick Douglass called Republicans the 'Party of freedom and progress,' and the first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln, the author of the Emancipation Proclamation. It was the Republicans in Congress who authored the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments giving former slaves citizenship, voting rights, and due process of law. The Democrats on the other hand were the Party of Jim Crow. It was Democrats who defended the rights of slave owners. It was the Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who championed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, but it was Democrats in the Senate who filibustered the bill. ~ Elbert Guillory
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Elbert Guillory
If Obama's vision of the public sector is socialism, then so too were the visions of Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon. ~ Jeff Greenfield
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Jeff Greenfield
I guess I was the most unbohemian of all bohemians. My bohemianism consisted of not wanting to get involved with the stupid stuff that I thought people wanted you to get involved with - ... namely America ... Dwight Eisenhower, McCarthyism and all those great things. ~ Amiri Baraka
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Amiri Baraka
When Dwight Eisenhower became president, I personally was delighted. I thought that that was a very good thing. ~ Malcolm Muggeridge
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Malcolm Muggeridge
Beauty could not love you back. People were not what they seemed and certainly not what they said. Madness was contagious. Memory served melancholy. The medieval was not so bad. Gravity was a form of nostalgia. There could be virtue in satirizing virtue. Dwight Eisenhower and Werner von Braun had the exact same mouths. No one loved a loser until he completely lost. The capital of Burma was Rangoon. ~ Lorrie Moore
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Lorrie Moore
Once Dwight Eisenhower makes up his mind, he's full of indecision. ~ Oscar Levant
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Oscar Levant
Dwight Eisenhower, the Republican nominee in 1952, made a strong public commitment to ending the war in Korea, where fighting had reached a stalemate. ~ Robert Dallek
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Robert Dallek
I tend to pair up Benjamin Harrison and Dwight Eisenhower because they're the two presidents I can think of who most preferred laziness to labor ... There's not much else you can say about Harrison except that he was president of the United States. ~ Harry S. Truman
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Harry S. Truman
Well, one of the things a lot of Americans don't know, when Mitt Romney is nominated a few days from now, he will be the most experienced executive to be nominated for the presidency since Dwight Eisenhower in 1952, who had run a university and had run the allied war effort. That's actually a big deal. ~ Artur Davis
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Artur Davis
I met Gerald Ford. I met Richard Nixon. I met Jimmy Carter. I met Dwight Eisenhower when he was a general. George Bush senior. I haven't met Bill Clinton or George W. Bush, although I got a letter from him. ~ Pete Rose
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Pete Rose
George Washington, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower all rode their wartime heroics into the White House. ~ Jeff Greenfield
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Jeff Greenfield
My parents, both of them had teachers in their family and were pretty well read. So my father voted for [Dwight] Eisenhower. ~ Jeff Sessions
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Jeff Sessions
I think it [presidency of Dwight Eisenhower] came too late and I think that he is not on the wavelength of this dreadful time through which we're living. ~ Malcolm Muggeridge
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Malcolm Muggeridge
Dwight Eisenhower said, "Take as much time as you can to make a decision, but when you are out of time, decide and move forward. ~ Don H. Ross
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Don H. Ross
Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon lent their support to such interventionist measures as Medicare and the Environmental Protection Agency. Eisenhower pushed for the greatest public works project in the history of the United States - the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act, which linked the nation together with four-lane (and occasionally six-lane) interstate highways covering forty thousand miles. The GOP also backed large expansion of federally supported higher education. And to many Republicans at the time, a marginal income tax rate of more than 70 percent on top incomes was not repugnant. ~ Robert B. Reich
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Robert B. Reich
I figured that pitchers had a better chance of getting drafted than fielders, so I decided I should be a pitcher. But I never expected to be picked in the first round. I wasn't even sure I'd get picked at all. ~ Dwight Gooden
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight Gooden
There is the joy of one's own salvation. I thought, when I first tasted that, it was the most delicious joy I had ever known, and that I could never get beyond it. But I found, afterward, there was something more joyful that, namely, the joy of the salvation of others. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
In retrospect, we could see that the 1950s had been a reactionary period in America of Eisenhower blandness, of virulent anticommunism, of the 'Feminine Mystique.' ~ Edmund White
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Edmund White
I do not believe that the children of presidents or vice-presidents should be assigned to combat zones. They have no place there. ~ John Eisenhower
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by John Eisenhower
A map of the moon ... should be in every geological lecture room; for no where can we have a more complete or more magnificent illustration of volcanic operations. Our sublimest volcanoes would rank among the smaller lunar eminences; and our Etnas are but spitting furnaces. ~ James Dwight Dana
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by James Dwight Dana
We need to discover once again that we have something to die for, for it is only when we have something to die for that we have something to live for. ~ Dwight Longenecker
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight Longenecker
One of the interesting takeaways from both the Antonine plague and polio is what a difference a strong leader can make during an epidemic. Marcus Aurelius's swift response to the Antonine plague - and his attempt to help cover expenses for the general populace and rebuild the parts of the army decimated by the disease - staved off the fall of the Roman Empire, at least temporarily. When FDR took up polio as a cause, America followed his lead and went to work eradicating it. Although his role may not have been as significant, Eisenhower is also to be commended for trying to ensure that cost did not prohibit any child from receiving the polio vaccine, and that the vaccine was shared with the world. Those men each acknowledged the seriousness of their crises and went about bravely confronting the disease in their midst head-on. They did not ignore it or glamorize it or shame people for having it, because that never works. That strategy just gives diseases more time to multiply and kill people. Diseases are delighted when you refuse to take them seriously. ~ Jennifer Wright
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Jennifer Wright
I'm undoubtedly a liberal, which means that I'm in almost total agreement with the Eisenhower-era Republican party platform. ~ Rachel Maddow
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Rachel Maddow
If it weren't the problem of politics for me, it would be another. And yet, sometimes it's so difficult. And I feel sorry for myself. And then hate myself for this feeling of self-pity. ~ Julie Nixon Eisenhower
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Julie Nixon Eisenhower
In Proverbs we read: 'He that winneth souls is wise.' If any man, women, or child by a godly life and example can win one soul to God, his life will not have been a failure. He will have outshone all the mighty men of his day, because he will have set a stream in motion that will flow on and on forever and ever. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
I'm not ready to pack my bags and leave the town and my business that I love and my kids that I love more than anything and pack them up and come to Hollywood. I love California. I love Hollywood. But I'm not ready to uproot what I believe in to come to Hollywood. ~ Dwight Henry
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight Henry
If a man gets drunk and goes out and breaks his leg so that it must be amputated, God will forgive him if he asks it, but he will have to hop around on one leg all his life. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
When we get hung up on the non-essentials, the essentials have no opportunity to make a significant appearance. ~ Dwight Edwards
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight Edwards
Life is very sweet to me, and there is no position of power or wealth that could tempt me from the throne God has given me. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
The Washington press corps thinks that Julie Nixon Eisenhower is the only member of the Nixon Administration who has any credibility
and, as one journalist put it, this is not to say that anyone believes what she is saying but simply that people believe she believes what she is sayingit is almost as if she is the only woman in America over the age of twenty who still thinks her father is exactly what she thought he was when she was six. ~ Nora Ephron
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Nora Ephron
Now, granted, Howard doesn't fit the conventional psychological profile of a rebounder - that of the no-nonsense, utilitarian "dirty work" specialist. Rather, this is a guy who sings Beyoncé at the free throw line, who quotes not Scarface but Finding Nemo, whose idea of humor is ordering 10 pizzas to be delivered to another player's hotel room, or knocking on teammates' doors and sprinting off down the hall, giggling. He goofs around during practice, during press conferences and during team shootarounds, for which Magic coach Stan Van Gundy has had to institute a no-flatulence rule because, as teammate Rashard Lewis says, "Dwight really likes to cut the cheese. ~ Chris Ballard
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Chris Ballard
Eventually, my highbrow parents, who so hated the Eisenhower suburban culture of the 1950s that the only magazines they subscribed to were 'The Atlantic' and 'The New Yorker,' broke down and got 'Life' magazine. ~ Sally Mann
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Sally Mann
Be humble, or you'll stumble. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
The reward of service is more service. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
When God wants to move a mountain, he does not take a bar of iron, but he takes a little worm. The fact is, we have too much strength. We are not weak enough. It is not our strength that we want. One drop of God's strength is worth more than all the world. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
The Eisenhower Memorial competition and project have stirred a remarkable polemic, the center of which is not President Eisenhower or Washington, D.C. but Mr. Gehry and the values he promulgates. ~ Leon Krier
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Leon Krier
I never knew up to that time that God loved us so much. This heart of mine began to thaw out; I could not keep back the tears. I just drank it in ... I tell you there is one thing that draws above everything else in the world and that is love. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
If you want to put golf back on the front pages again, and you don't have a Bobby Jones or a Francis Ouimet handy, here's what you do: You send an aging Jack Nicklaus out in the last round of the Masters and let him kill more foreigners than a general named Eisenhower. ~ Dan Jenkins
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dan Jenkins
We started shooting, and then Jodie found out she was pregnant. Forest broke it to me - he'd gone to work and heard it on the radio! It seemed like the movie was doomed. But, like these characters, there was a disregard for all the signs along the way. ~ Dwight Yoakam
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight Yoakam
Lying covers a multitude of sins - temporarily. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
A good many preachers say I am lowering the pulpit. I am glad I am. I am trying to get it down to the level of men's hearts. If I wanted to hit Chicago I would not put the cannon on the top of this building and fire into the air. Too many preachers fire into the air. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
God will not accept a divided heart. He must be absolute monarch. There is not room in your heart for two thrones. You cannot mix the worship of the true God with the worship of any other god more than you can mix oil and water. It cannot be done. There is not room for any other throne in the heart if Christ is there. If worldliness should come in, godliness would go out. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
It is impossible for us to see as God sees because we look at our circumstances which are like an enveloping cloud that surrounds us, preventing us from seeing outside them. There's a vast difference between being on the ground when a thundercloud is over head and being in a jet plane above the storm. What a different viewpoint you get when you are looking down on it from when you are looking up at it. ~ J. Dwight Pentecost
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by J. Dwight Pentecost
With the Republicans controlling both houses of Congress, this is the Eisenhower-era revisited. It's ostrich time, where people are looking for comfort rather than challenge in their art. It's a lot easier to listen to Barry Manilow murder what are actually good songs from the '50s than to consider what [left-leaning songwriter] Steve Earle has to say. ~ David Fricke
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by David Fricke
Basically, women have to prove they are strong at all times. And then when they go on the attack, they have to not appear mean because those women often get the label of being catty. ~ Julie Nixon Eisenhower
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Julie Nixon Eisenhower
The Son of God passed by the mansions and went down in a manger that He might sympathize with the lowly. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
I don't always match up with guys like Dwight Howard or Andrew Bynum, but when I do, those guys are a challenge. Dwight, for example, is quick, explosive, and strong all in one. ~ Kris Humphries
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Kris Humphries
It is our privilege to know that we are saved. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
Presidents do not go into war lightly. It's a tremendous responsibility in making decisions, and I know Bush must deeply believe this is the only course. ~ Julie Nixon Eisenhower
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Julie Nixon Eisenhower
A Christian in the world is one thing, and the world in a Christian is quite another thing. A ship in the water is all right, but when the water gets in the ship, it is quite a different thing. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
The time between appearances for us is so great that we lose track of it. It would be like watching 'Ben Hur' at one frame a second. There would be long periods of time where absolutely nothing was going on. ~ Dwight Schultz
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight Schultz
A man who prays much in private will make short prayers in public. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
[On Richard M. Nixon:] The Republican nominee would be far worse than another Eisenhower - he is Tricky Dicky of the first magnitude. His entire record is one of opportunism. I cannot feel that there is the remotest sincerity in him, and that clearly he would be the tool of the highest bidder, which is always 'big business. ~ Marguerite Rawalt
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Marguerite Rawalt
God stands in no need of our strength or wisdom, but of our ignorance, of our weakness; let us but give these to Him, and He can make use of us in winning souls. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
No man ever sought Christ with a heart to find Him who did not find Him. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
By 'socialism' I mean a classless society in which the State has disappeared, production is cooperative, and no man has political or economic power over another. The touchstone would be the extent to which each individual could develop his own talents and personality. ~ Dwight Macdonald
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight Macdonald
Dwight would later learn that being Lyon's friend would cost him opportunities to make more of them, but he was content with that. He had learned the school year before that having a close friend was like having fifty not so close ones. ** ~ Michael Kroft
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Michael Kroft
I didn't try to cry my way out of Orlando. That was never my intention, or not what I did at all. And I understand everybody thought it was that way because of what was being put out there. ~ Dwight Howard
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight Howard
After we have made our requests known to Him, our language should be, "Thy will be done". I would a thousand times rather that Gods' will should be done than my own. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
You don't run for public office unless you have a specific vision. You are driven by ideas and a vision. ~ Julie Nixon Eisenhower
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Julie Nixon Eisenhower
However you arrive at the ability to ignore self-doubt - if you can acquire it or possess it or find it or discover it - move beyond self-doubt. ~ Dwight Yoakam
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight Yoakam
I believe Satan exists for two reasons: first, the Bible says so, and second, I've done business with him. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Dwight Eisenhower quotes by Dwight L. Moody
