Quote by -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Leadership is a word and a concept that has been more argued than almost any other I know. I am not one of the desk-pounding types that likes to stick out his jaw and look like he is bossing the show. I would far rather get behind and, recognizing the frailties and the requirements of human nature, would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone."
Quote by -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"You don't lead by hitting people over the head-that's assault, not leadership."
Quote by -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow."

Quote by -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"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."
