Wisdom Speaks Out From The Past...

Sometimes men make statements not truly understood until they are gone.

I think that Dwight D. Eisenhower was one of those men. I respect most all of his quotes and I find them to be very applicable to our times.

Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

See what I mean? Now, let's get some coffee, my friend!
