Famous quotes containing the words missiles, tested and/or launched:

    “Our missiles always make too short an arc:

    The curve of earth, and striking, break their own;”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “People are tested by wealth, just as gold is tested by fire.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
