Dwight Eisenhower Quotes
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in a final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed-those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending its money alone-it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
- Dwight Eisenhower, Speech (1953)

War Quotes
Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a
parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.
- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
