Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

"With all who honor you, I am glad to join in best wishes and in the hope that future years will bring you happiness."

"The story of your accomplishments is not only a monument to your own great gifts of mind and heart."

"Now, my friends, I just want to say this: never have I had a more pleasant time than I have had on these two days."

"I tell you this: I am going to accept that invitation to come back, just as soon as possible."
