Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

"There is no expectation on my part that in a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks this world is going to be turned around."

"You are going to meet, try to discover whether you believe the other people are sincerely hoping to relieve tensions."

"I think you are on a job that needs to be done, and I know you will do it well."

"In this country, for one reason or another, we have, possibly, been more backward in the building of roads we need than we should have been."
