Famous quotes containing the words gun, control and/or act:
“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 (18901969)

—Erica Jong, U.S. author. In an essay in The Writer on Her Work, ch. 13 (1980)
“Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought.”
—Kwame Nkrumah (19001972)
