More From Dwight D. Eisenhower
- "The people of the world genuinely want peace. Some day the leaders of the world are going to have to give in and give, it to them."
- "When you are in any contest, you should work as if there were – to the very last minute – a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything."
- "The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield."
More In Politics
- "I don’t want to express my opinion about actual politics, because if I do, I have to be responsible for my decision."― Haruki Murakami
- "This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud; he sits upon the throne."― John Podhoretz
- "Inauthenticity is endemic in American politics today. The political backrooms where I spent much of my career were just as benighted as my personal life, equally crowded with shadowy strangers and compromises, truths I hoped to deny. I lived not in one closet but in many."― James McGreevey
