Character In Many Ways Is Everything In Leadership. It Is Made Up Of Many Things, But I Would Say Character Is Really Integrity. When You Delegate Something To A Subordinate, For Example, It Is Absolutely Your Responsibility, And He Must Understand This. You As A Leader Must Take Complete Responsibility For What The Subordinate Does. I Once Said, As A Sort Of Wisecrack, That Leadership Consists Of Nothing But Taking Responsibility For Everything That Goes Wrong And Giving Your Subordinates Credit For Everything That Goes Well.

People Talk About The Middle Of The Road As Though It Were Unacceptable. Actually, All Human Problems, Excepting Morals, Come Into The Gray Areas. Things Are Not All Black And White. There Have To Be Compromises. The Middle Of The Road Is All Of The Usable Surface. The Extremes, Right And Left, Are In The Gutters.

Black And White

Let Us Solemnly Remember The Sacrifices Of All Those Who Fought So Valiantly, On The Seas, In The Air, And On Foreign Shores, To Preserve Our Heritage Of Freedom, And Let Us Reconsecrate Ourselves To The Task Of Promoting An Enduring Peace So That Their Efforts Shall Not Have Been In Vain.

War Is Mankind's Most Tragic And Stupid Folly; To Seek Or Advise Its Deliberate Provocation Is A Black Crime Against All Men.

Well, A Funny Thing, There Are Three That I Like All For The Same Reason, Golf, Fishing, And Shooting, And I Do Because First, They Take You Into The Fields. There Is Mild Exercise, The Kind That An Older Individual Probably Should Have. And On Top Of It, It Induces You To Take At Any One Time 2 Or 3 Hours, If You Can, Where You Are Thinking Of The Bird Or That Ball Or The Wily Trout. Now, To My Mind It Is A Very Healthful, Beneficial Kind Of Thing, And I Do It Whenever I Get A Chance, As You Well Know.

Inflation Is Not A Robin Hood, Taking From The Rich To Give To The Poor. Rather, It Deals Most Cruelly With Those Who Can Least Protect Themselves. It Strikes Hardest Those Millions Of Our Citizens Whose Incomes Do Not Quickly Rise With The Cost Of Living.

And I Should Like To Assure You, My Islamic Friends, That Under The American Constitution, Under American Tradition, And In American Hearts, This Center, This Place Of Worship, Is Just As Welcome As Could Be A Similar Edifice Of Any Other Religion. Indeed, America Would Fight With Her Whole Strength For Your Right To Have Here Your Own Church And Worship According To Your Own Conscience.

The Only Way To Win World War Iii Is To Prevent It.

There Is No Glory In Battle Worth The Blood It Costs.

I Firmly Believe That The Army Of Persons Who Urge Greater And Greater Centralization Of Authority And Greater And Greater Dependence Upon The Federal Treasury Are Really More Dangerous To Our Form Of Government Than Any External Threat That Can Possibly Be Arrayed Against Us.

We Will Bankrupt Ourselves In The Vain Search For Absolute Security.

The Founding Father Expressed In Words For All To Read The Ideal Of Government Based Upon The Dignity Of The Individual. That Ideal Previously Had Existed Only In The Hearts And Minds Of Men. They Produced The Timeless Documents Upon Which The Nation Is Rounded And Has Grown Great. They, Recognizing God As The Author Of Individual Fights, Declared That The Purpose Of Government Is To Secure Those Rights.

You Did Not Tell Me What You Are Doing Athletically Just Now But I Do Hope That If Your Arm Comes Along Next Spring You Can Get It In Good Shape To Try Out For The Pitching Spot On The Varsity. However, If You Don't Make It Then I Suggest You Take Up Golf Which After All Is The Best Game Of All Of Them.

In Order To Be A Leader A Man Must Have Followers. And To Have Followers, A Man Must Have Their Confidence.

In All Those Things Which Deal With People, Be Liberal, Be Human. In All Those Things Which Deal With The People's Money Or Their Economy Or Their Form Of Government, Be Conservative.

My Constant Prayer, These Days, As I Start My Backswing Is, 'oh, Please Let Me Swing Slowly.' The Trouble Is That Sometimes I Wonder Whether I Swing At All; Whether I Am Not Strictly A Chopper.

A People That Values Its Privileges Above Its Principles Soon Loses Both.

We Are Particularly Thankful To You For Your Part In The Movement To Have The Words Under God Added To Our Pledge Of Allegiance.

When Shallow Critics Denounce The Profit Motive Inherent In Our System Of Private Enterprise, They Ignore The Fact That It Is An Economic Support Of Every Human Right We Possess And Without It, All Rights Would Disappear.

I Despise All Adjectives That Try To Describe People As Liberal Or Conservative, Rightist Or Leftist, As Long As They Stay In The Useful Part Of The Road.

The United States Pledges Before You-and Therefore Before The World-its Determination To Help Solve The Fearful Atomic Dilemma-to Devote Its Entire Heart And Mind To Find The Way By Which The Miraculous Inventiveness Of Man Shall Not Be Dedicated To His Death, But Consecrated To His Life.

There Is -- In World Affairs -- A Steady Course To Be Followed Between An Assertion Of Strength That Is Truculent And A Confession Of Helplessness That Is Cowardly.

I Will Not Get Into A Pissing Contest With That Skunk [joseph Mccarthy].

But I Believe This: By And Large, The United States Ought To Be Able To Choose For Its President Anybody That It Wants, Regardless Of The Number Of Terms He Has Served. That Is What I Believe. Now, Some People Have Said, "you Let Him Get Enough Power And This Will Lead Toward A One-party Government." That, I Don't Believe. I Have Got The Utmost Faith In The Long-term Common Sense Of The American People. Therefore, I Don't Think There Should Be Any Inhibitions Other Than Those That Were In The 35-year Age Limit And So On. I Think That Was Enough, Myself.

The System Is Not Intended As A Substitute For Private Savings, Pension Plans, And Insurance Protection. It Is, Rather, Intended As The Foundation Upon Which These Other Forms Of Protection Can Be Soundly Built. Thus, The Individual's Own Work, His Planning And His Thrift Will Bring Him A Higher Standard Of Living Upon His Retirement, Or His Family A Higher Standard Of Living In The Event Of His Death, Than Would Otherwise Be The Case. Hence The System Both Encourages Thrift And Self-reliance, And Helps To Prevent Destitution In Our National Life.

The Stop-watch Of History Is Running. The Race Is On . . .

... Four Other Pieces Of Equipment That Most Senior Officers Came To Regard As Among The Most Vital To Our Success In Africa And Europe Were The Bulldozer, The Jeep, The 2--ton Truck, And The C-47 Airplane. Curiously, None Of These Is Designed For Combat.

This Is A Long Tough Road We Have To Travel. The Men That Can Do Things Are Going To Be Sought Out Just As Surely As The Sun Rises In The Morning. Fake Reputations, Habits Of Glib And Clever Speech, And Glittering Surface Performance Are Going To Be Discovered.

...the Right Of The Individual To Elect Freely The Manner Of His Care In Illness Must Be Preserved.

Men Of Widely Divergent Views In Our Own Country Live In Peace Together Because They Share Certain Common Aspirations Which Are More Important Than Their Differences.... The Common Responsibility Of All Americans Is To Become Effective, Helpful Participants In A Way Of Life That Blends And Harmonizes The Fiercely Competitive Demands Of The Individual And Society.

Work Should Be For All Of Us A Word As Honorable And Appealing As Patriotism.

Forces Of Good And Evil Are Massed And Armed And Opposed As Rarely Before In History. Freedom Is Pitted Against Slavery; Lightness Against The Dark... In The Final Choice, A Soldier's Pack Is Not So Heavy A Burden As A Prisoner's Chains.

By Mutual Respect, Understanding And With Good Will We Can Find Acceptable Solutions To Any Problems Which Exist Or May Arise Between Us.

The People Of The World Genuinely Want Peace. Some Day The Leaders Of The World Are Going To Have To Give In And Give, It To Them.

The President Cannot Escape From His Office.

This World Of Ours... Must Avoid Becoming A Community Of Dreadful Fear And Hate, And Be, Instead, A Proud Confederation Of Mutual Trust And Respect.

The United States Strongly Seeks A Lasting Agreement For The Discontinuance Of Nuclear Weapons Tests. We Believe That This Would Be An Important Step Toward Reduction Of International Tensions And Would Open The Way To Further Agreement On Substantial Measures Of Disarmament.

Politics Should Be The Part-time Profession Of Every Citizen.

Soldiers, Sailors And Airmen Of The Allied Expeditionary Force! You Are About To Embark Upon The Great Crusade, Toward Which We Have Striven These Many Months. The Eyes Of The World Are Upon You.

We Have Heard Much Of The Phrase, Peace And Friendship. This Phrase, In Expressing The Aspiration Of America, Is Not Complete. We Should Say Instead, Peace And Friendship, In Freedom. This, I Think, Is America's Real Message To The Rest Of The World.

No Battle Was Ever Won According To Plan, But No Battle Was Ever Won Without One.

Kinship Among Nations Is Not Determined In Such Measurements As Proximity Of Size And Age. Rather We Should Turn To Those Inner Things - Call Them What You Will - I Mean Those Intangibles That Are The Real Treasures Free Men Possess. To Preserve His Freedom Of Worship, His Equality Before Law, His Liberty To Speak And Act As He Sees Fit, Subject Only To Provisions That He Trespass Not Upon Similar Rights Of Others - A Londoner Will Fight. So Will A Citizen Of Abilene. When We Consider These Things, Then The Valley Of The Thames Draws Closer To The Farms Of Kansas And The Plains Of Texas.

And The Other Was This: The Doctor Did Want To Take Off My Leg Because He Thought It Was Necessary. But You Must Remember Boys In Those Days Were Raised For Two Things: Work, And Then They Made Their Play; And If You Couldn't Play Baseball And Box And Play Football, Why, Your Life Was Ended. That Was In Our Boyish Minds.

The World Moves, And Ideas That Were Once Good Are Not Always Good.

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.

The Supreme Belief Of Our Society Is The Dignity And Freedom Of The Individual. To The Respect Of That Dignity, To The Defense Of That Freedom, All Effort Is Pledged.

Speeches Are For The Younger Men Who Are Going Places. And I'm Not Going Anyplace Except Six Feet Under The Floor Of That Little Chapel Adjoining The Museum And Library At Abilene.

In The Councils Of Government, We Must Guard Against The Acquisition Of Unwarranted Influence, Whether Sought Or Unsought, By The Military Industrial Complex. The Potential For The Disastrous Rise Of Misplaced Power Exists And Will Persist. We Must Never Let The Weight Of This Combination Endanger Our Liberties Or Democratic Processes. We Should Take Nothing For Granted. Only An Alert And Knowledgeable Citizenry Can Compel The Proper Meshing Of The Huge Industrial And Military Machinery Of Defense With Our Peaceful Methods And Goals, So That Security And Liberty May Prosper Together.

Recognition Of The Supreme Being Was The First - The Most Basic - Expression Of Americanism.

Organizations Cannot Make A Genius Out Of An Incompetent. On The Other Hand, Disorganization Can Scarcely Fail To Result In Efficiency.

I Say When You Get Into A War, You Should Win As Quick As You Can, Because Your Losses Become A Function Of The Duration Of The War. I Believe When You Get In A War, Get Everything You Need And Win It.

Dollars And Guns Are No Substitutes For Brains And Will Power.

I Believe It Is A Tradition In Baseball That When A Pitcher Has A No-hitter Going, No One Reminds Him Of It.

Peace Signifies More Than The Stilling Of Guns, Easing The Sorrow Of War. More Than Escape From Death, It Is A Way Of Life. More Than A Haven For The Weary, It Is A Hope For The Brave.

To Have A Free, Peaceful And Prosperous World We Must Be Ever Stronger Particularly In The Spiritual Things....it Is American Belief In Decency And Justice And Progress And The Value Of Individual Liberty Because Of The Rights Conferred On Each Of Us By Our Creator That Willcarry Us Through.... There Must Be Something In The Heart As Well As The Head.

Love Of Liberty Means The Guarding Of Every Resource That Makes Freedom Possible-from The Sanctity Of Our Families And The Wealth Of Our Soil To The Genius [of] Our Scientists.

The Eyes Of The World Are Upon You. The Hopes And Prayers Of Liberty-loving People Everywhere March With You.

Leadership Is The Art Of Getting Someone Else To Do Something You Want Done Because He Wants To Do It.

Take Your Job Seriously, But Not Yourself

Kinship Among Nations Is Not Determined In Such Measurements As Proximity Of Size And Age.

If Our Founding Fathers Were Alive Today, They'd Roll Over In Their Graves.

Any Nations Right To A Form Of Government And Economic System Of Its Own Choosing Is Inalienable. Any Nations Attempt To Dictate To Other Nations Their Form Of Government Is Indefensible.

The Qualities Of A Great Man Are Vision, Integrity, Courage, Understanding, The Power Of Articulation, And Profundity Of Character.

Freedom From Fear And Injustice And Oppression Will Be Ours Only In The Measure That Men Who Value Such Freedom Are Ready To Sustain Its Possession - To Defend It Against Every Thrust From Within Or Without.

Injustice And Oppression

Politics Ought To Be The Part-time Profession Of Every Citizen Who Would Protect The Rights And Privileges Of Free People And Who Would Preserve What Is Good And Fruitful In Our National Heritage.

America Is Best Described By One Word, Freedom.

There Is A Kind Of Dictatorship That Can Come About Through A Creeping Paralysis Of Thought, Readiness To Accept Paternalistic Measures By Government, And Along With Those Measures Comes A Surrender Of Our Own Responsibilities And Therefore A Surrender Of Our Own Thought Over Our Own Lives And Our Own Right To Exercise The Vote. The Free System Gives The Right To Every Citizen To Do Something For Himself. Because He Has The Right, The Opportunity Is Always There.

War Is A Grim, Cruel Business, A Business Justified Only As A Means Of Sustaining The Forces Of Good Against Those Of Evil.

We Merely Want To Live In Peace With All The World.

[not Achieving A Nuclear Test Ban] Would Have To Be Classed As The Greatest Disappointment Of Any Administration Of Any Decade, Of Any Time And Of Any Party.

You Realise Group Captain That This Might Be The Most Important Weather Forecast In History?

Humility Must Always Be The Portion Of Any Man Who Receives Acclaim Earned In The Blood Of His Followers And The Sacrifices Of His Friends.

I Also Ache At That Thought Your Majesty... But If They Do Not Offer The Sacrifice In Blood Now, We Will All Pay Dearly With Added Gallons Later. So If Some Most Die It Is In A Worthy Cause.

It Is My Personal Conviction That Almost Any One Of The Newborn States Of The World Would Far Rather Embrace Communism Or Any Other Form Of Dictatorship Than Acknowledge The Political Domination Of Another Government, Even Though That Brought To Each Citizen A Far Higher Standard Of Living.

An Atheist Is A Man Who Watches A Notre Dame - Southern Methodist University Game And Doesn't Care Who Wins.

Change Is The Law Of Life And Of Relations Between Nations. When Two Great Peoples Such As Ours, Energetic And Optimistic, Live Side By Side In All The Diversity That Freedom Offers, Change Is Rapid And Brings In Its Wake Problems, Sometimes Frictions.

I Thought It Completely Absurd To Mention My Name In The Same Breath As The Presidency.

The Spirit Of Man Is More Important Than Mere Physical Strength, And The Spiritual Fiber Of A Nation Than Its Wealth. The Bible Is Endorsed By The Ages. Our Civilization Is Built Upon Its Words. In No Other Book Is There Such A Collection Of Inspired Wisdom, Reality, And Hope.

We Are Not Saints. We Know We Make Mistakes, But At Least Our Heart Is With The Right Cause.

Without God, There Would Be No American Form Of Government, Nor An American Way Of Life.

More Than Ever Before, In Our Country, This Is The Age Of The Individual. Endowed With The Accumulated Knowledge Of Centuries, Armed With All The Instruments Of Modern Science, He Is Still Assured Personal Freedom And Wide Avenues Of Expression So That He May Win For Himself, His Family And His Country Greater Material Comfort, Ease And Happiness; Greater Spiritual Satisfaction And Contentment.

Through Knowledge And Understanding We Will Drive From The Temple Of Freedom All Who Seek To Establish Over Us Thought Control - Whether They Be Agents Of A Foreign Power Or Demagogues Thirsty For Personal Power And Public Notice.

Most Things Which Are Urgent Are Not Important, And Most Things Which Are Important Are Not Urgent.

We The People, Elect Leaders Not To Rule But To Serve

Only Strength Can Cooperate. Weakness Can Only Beg.

Not Only Do I Have A Great Love For The Game Of Golf - No Matter How Badly I Play It - But I Have Also The Belief That Through Every Kind Of Meeting, Through Every Kind Of Activity To Which We Can Bring Together More Often And More Intimately Peoples Of Our Several Countries, By That Measure We Will Do Something To Solve The Difficulties And The Tensions That This Poor Old World Seems Nowadays To So Much Endure.

Help The Cubans To The Utmost Counseling His Successor While Handing Over The Reins. We Cannot Let Castro's Government Go On.

Preventive War Was An Invention Of Hitler. I Would Not Even Listen To Anyone Seriously That Came And Talked About Such A Thing.

Mob Rule Can Not Be Allowed To Override The Decisions Of Our Courts.

This Is What I Found Out About Religion: It Gives You Courage To Make The Decisions You Must Make In A Crisis, And Then The Confidence To Leave The Result To A Higher Power. Only By Trust In God Can A Man Carrying Responsibility Find Repose.

The Friendship Of A Dog Is Precious. It Becomes Even More So When One Is So Far Removed From Home.... I Have A Scottie. In Him I Find Consolation And Diversion... He Is The "one Person" To Whom I Can Talk Without The Conversation Coming Back To War.

A Preventive War, To My Mind, Is An Impossibility Today. How Could You Have One If One Of Its Features Would Be Several Cities Lying In Ruins, Several Cities Where Many, Many Thousands Of People Would Be Dead And Injured And Mangled, The Transportation Systems Destroyed, Sanitation Implements And Systems All Gone? That Isn't Preventive War; That Is War.

If Any Blame Or Fault Attaches To The Attempt, It Is Mine Alone.

How Can We Appraise A Proposal If The Terms Hurled At Our Ears Can Mean Anything Or Nothing, And Change Their Significance With The Inflection Of The Voice? Welfare State, National Socialism, Radical, Liberal, Conservative, Reactionary And A Regiment Of Others ... These Terms In Today's Usage, Are Generally Compounds Of Confusion And Prejudice. If Our Attitudes Are Muddled, Our Language Is Often To Blame. A Good Tonic For Clearer Thinking Is A Dose Of Precise, Legal Definition.

The More Baseball The Better. It Is A Healthful Sport And Develops Team Play And Initiative, Plus An Independent Attitude.

The Potential For The Disastrous Rise Of Misplaced Power Exists And Will Persist.

I Would Rather Have A Lucky General Than A Smart General.... They Win Battles, And They Make Me Lucky.

Our American Heritage Is Threatened As Much By Our Own Indifference As It Is By The Most Unscrupulous Office Or By The Most Powerful Foreign Threat. The Future Of This Republic Is In The Hands Of The American Voter.
