" Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired,
represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and
are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This 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.
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969) "

I’m not sure if you’re asking for favorite quotes or not,and not being sure,I will naturally charge ahead.
Now,on my good days I’m agnostic,on my bad ones I’m atheistic,but I still like this quote:
"
It is good that god keeps the truths of life from the young as they start out or else they’d have no heart to start at all."
Cormac McCarthy
