Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    “So in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation blithely to declare yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.”
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    “The main foundations of every state, new states as well as ancient or composite ones, are good laws and good arms ... you cannot have good laws without good arms, and where there are good arms, good laws inevitably follow.”
    —Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)

    “In Arms not worse, in foresight much advanc’t,
    We may with more successful hope resolve
    To wage by force or guile eternal Warr
    Irreconcileable, to our grand Foe,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
