Quote from Eisenhowers Farewell Address

• In the councils of government, we must guard
  against the acquisition of unwarranted influence,
  whether sought or unsought, by the
  military-industrial complex. The potential for
  the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and
  will persist.
• We must never let the weight of this combination
  endanger our liberties or democratic processes.
  We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert
  and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper
  meshing of the huge industrial and military
  machinery of defense with our peaceful methods
  and goals, so that security and liberty may
  prosper together.
