    Doing the military two-step, as in the days of yore.”
    —Joyce Grenfell (1910–1979)

    “Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
