We got the sidewalks cleared, but we cannot turn up the outdoor temp so bundle up if you come visit! It's warm inside the buildings and we have coat racks!

How far have we come in man's long pilgrimage from darkness toward light? Are we nearing the light—a day of freedom and of peace for all mankind? Or are the shadows of another night closing in upon us?

[President Eisenhower @POTUS34_]

I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of the way and let them have it.

[President Eisenhower @POTUS34_]

What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important.

[President Eisenhower @POTUS34_]

The problem is not merely man against man or nation against nation. It is man against war.

[President Eisenhower @POTUS34_]

Worry is a word that I don't allow myself to use.

[President Eisenhower @POTUS34_]

Those who take the extreme positions in American political and economic life are always wrong.

[President Eisenhower @POTUS34_]

We must achieve both security and solvency. In fact, the foundation of military strength is economic strength.

[President Eisenhower @POTUS34_]

War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men.

The time has passed for dilly-dallying. We must demand satisfactory performance.
