Eisenhower was my war hero and the President I admire and respect most.

A true war hero never leaves a battlefield alive

I became a war hero before going on to critical acclaim as a professional victim.

when the world gives you a hero you turn him into a zero

My family says they are proud of me. Of course, I would rather hear this than the contrary, but I cannot say that I am proud of myself, so I find that I cannot 'talk about it'.

The political hero is not like the sports champion or matinee idol or daring inventor; like the war hero, he is born only of tragedy.
