Missile Defence System

Famous quotes containing the words missile, defence and/or system:

    ... the truth is the hardest missile one can be pelted with.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    There can be no defence like elaborate courtesy.
    —E.V. (Edward Verrall)

    Those words freedom and opportunity do not mean a license to climb upwards by pushing other people down. Any paternalistic system that tries to provide for security for everyone from above only calls for an impossible task and a regimentation utterly uncongenial to the spirit of our people.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
