Nations Arms Embargoes

Famous quotes containing the words nations and/or arms:

    “When you have come into the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,” you may indeed set over you a king whom the LORD your God will choose. One of your own community you may set as king over you; you are not permitted to put a foreigner over you, who is not of your own community.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 17:14,15.

    “The use of arms is ownership
    Of the appropriate gun. It is ownership that brings
    Victory that is not hinted at in “Das Kapital.”
    I think there is never but one true war
    So let us as you desire perfect our trade.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
