"A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both." ~ Dwight Eisenhower
"The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionable integrity. Without it, no real success is possible." ~ Dwight Eisenhower
It has been so fascinating to me these last several blogs as we have learned or perhaps remembered the quotes of some of the greatest leaders. I have learned a great deal. I pray you are enjoying them as well. One thing I have learned is how their quotes are so similar to the Scriptures found in the Bible.
When reading about President Eisenhower I kept coming across these words to describe him, honesty, humility, and persistence. He was our 34th President and the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces during World War II. He was a graduate of West Point. He created the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and NASA.
"You don't lead by hitting people over the head--that's assault, not leadership." ~ Dwight Eisenhower This quote says so much about his life and his beliefs. He won the hearts of the American people because he identified with them. Another quote of his is, "A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done."
My favorite quote of his is this one: "May we grow in strength--without pride of self. May we in our dealings with all people of the earth speak the truth and serve justice. May the light of freedom, coming to all darkened lands, flame brightly--until at last the darkness is no more."May we in our dealings with all people of the earth speak the truth and serve justice. May the light of freedom, coming to all darkened lands, flame brightly--until at last the darkness is no more."
Ephesians 4:15 (KJV) "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:"
Today let's try to live a life that brings light into darkness, kindness into rude and inconsiderate situations. Let's live so Jesus may be seen in us.
