Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

"It is not an administration that sits up in an ivory tower of lonely isolation and gives words of wisdom that all of you must obey or be wrong."

"NO GROUP of citizens has been called to a higher mission than the one on which you are setting forth today."

"We are here not only to do our duty in government, but to learn."

"It is my belief that the American people will gladly and liberally respond to your plea as many of them have done in similar situations in the past through various voluntary agencies."
