"The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice; their choice!" ― Dwight D. Eisenhower Topic(s): History Tags: history More From Dwight D. Eisenhower "Only strength can cooperate. Weakness can only beg." "If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide, you would think that man’s intelligence and his comprehension… would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution." "Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow." More In History "Part of what I loved – and love – about being around older people is the tangible sense of history they embody. I’m interested in military history, for instance, because both my grandfathers fought in World War II. I’m interested in writing because one of those grandfathers wrote books."― Jon Meacham "That no government, so called, can reasonably be trusted, or reasonably be supposed to have honest purposes in view, any longer than it depends wholly upon voluntary support."― Lysander Spooner "Now, there are some who would like to rewrite history – revisionist historians is what I like to call them."― George W. Bush
