I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its stupidity.

Eisenhower on Leadership
And I tell you this: you do not lead by hitting people over the head. Any damn fool can do that, but it’s usually called “assault”–not
“leadership.”–Dwight Eisenhower, quoted in The Ordeal of Power: a political memoir of the Eisenhower years, Emmet John Hughes, 1963, p.124.
