Every gun that is made, every
warship that is launched and
every rocket fired signifies, in
the final sense, a theft from
those that hunger and are not
fed, those who are cold and are
not clothed. The world in arms
is not spending money alone. It
is spending the sweat of its
laborers, the genius of its
scientists, the hopes of its
children. This is not a way of
life at all in any true sense -
under the clouds of war, it is
humanity hanging on a cross of
iron.
Dwight David Eisenhower, 34th
President of the United States |
