This quote is a classic.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the 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 money alone. —Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Totally. I used that quote in my first public speech, against the first Gulf War, in January 1991.
