As we peer into society's future, we -- you and I, and our government -- must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.
Dwight D. Eisenhower... we have been warned by the power of modern weapons, that peace may be the only climate possible for human life itself ...

Dwight D. EisenhowerRemember that it is not by a tyrant's words, but only by his deeds that we can know him.
