Wise Words from a Republican President

I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left, and hurl rocks at those in the center.
-------------------------
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.
-------------------------
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking is freedom.
-------------------------
You don't lead by hitting people over the head-----that's assault, not leadership.
-------------------------
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

---President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969), 34th US President (1953-1961)Five-star General of the US Army.....and a Republican
