Birmingham Small Arms

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or arms:

“Today we seek a moral basis for peace.... It cannot be a lasting peace if the fruit of it is oppression, or starvation, cruelty, or human life dominated by armed camps. It cannot be a sound peace if small nations must live in fear of powerful neighbors. It cannot be a moral peace if freedom from invasion is sold for tribute.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

“And the Pope has cast his arms abroad for agony and loss,
And called the kings of Christendom for swords about the Cross,”
