Eisenhower: “We are both members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, an alliance that seeks only security and peace.”

Our entire history since the birth of my Nation has been that of friendship.

People must meet and understand other people, and so doing make it ever more difficult for governments, responding to false prides or even worse, personal ambitions, to sustain dictatorships.

We shall eventually have a world in which all men are brothers, and in which the outstretched hand is not that of a tyrant, but the hand of friendship.

Leadership is not proved by a mere whirling across the public stage in a burst of glib oratory.
