Dwight D. Eisenhower
“We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.”
“Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from the corn field.”
“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.”
“Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.”
“What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important.”
“Plans are nothing; planning is everything.”
