Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

"Washington is there to help coordinate, to help in every kind of thing that, as Lincoln put it: to help in those things which people cannot do for themselves, or cannot so well do for themselves."

"And that is why we are here--trying to learn, not merely to make speeches."

"I went around, all right, but it was because they inspired me."

"All this will be done, not with any thought that the Government of the United States is taking care of you."
