Quote examples
Zhang Zhidong
Chinese Politician
I understand that the tendency of foreign countries in recent years has been to establish particularly close relations with one or two others among all the countries which have general relations. In time of peace, they make secret treaties in advance, and in wartime, they aid one another with military provisions and armaments.
Quote examples
Eric Burdon
British Musician
I feel great that I've been given a chance in the golden years of my life. To me, it's the last battle, and I've been given a chance to get stuck in some good armament, some good power, and there's a chance that now I can finish off my working years with my head held high.
Quote examples
Thor Heyerdahl

We must wake up to the insane reality of our time. We are all irresponsible, unless we demand from the responsible decision makers that modern armaments must no longer be made available to people whose former battle axes and swords our ancestors condemned.
Quote examples
Henry Campbell-Bannerman
British Politician
We have to admit that, notwithstanding all the efforts in which governments and peoples have participated, no corresponding change has been wrought in the aspect of the world's armaments.
Quote examples
Ludwig Quidde

German Economist
With the aid of this credit policy, however, Germany created an armament second to none, and this armament in turn made possible the results of our policy.
Quote examples
