"Here in America we are descended in spirit from revolutionists and rebels ­
men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine."
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969)
U.S. President (1953-1961)
Address, Columbia University, May 31, 1954.
 

 
"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.
 
This world in arms is not spending money alone.
It is spending the sweat of its laborers,
the genius of its scientists,
the hopes of its children.
 
This is not a way of life at all in any true sense.
Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969)
April 16, 1953.
