“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower

“You’re wishin’ too much, baby. You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughtta be.”
