― J.R.R. TolkienThe Two Towers
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”
― George Orwell1984
“Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die.”

― Voltaire
“There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.”

"The arms business is based on human folly, and folly has yet to be measured nor its depths plumbed."

"All weapons are defensive and all spare parts are non-lethal."

"The plainest print cannot be read through a gold sovereign or a rouble or golden eagle."

-Sam Cummings of Philadelphia, Virginia and Monaco (1927-1998), President and sole owner of Interarms, a company which came to dominate the free world market in private arms sales.

Gandhi was surely a good man with good intentions, but he was idiotic in some practical matters: all men are not good like he was, and some wars have to be fought for future generations as well as the current.
