Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    “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. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.”
    —Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)

    “Now you know Danton: in a few hours he will fall asleep in the arms of glory.”
    —Georg Büchner (1813–1837)

    “For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.”
    —Sarah Bernhardt (1844–1923)
