― Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman
(She was American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960. It won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. Watchman is thought to be the first draft of the latter,

It is very inspiring, my friends, to come to this that may be called the original fountain of independence and liberty in America and here drink draughts of patriotic feeling which seem to renew the very blood in one’s veins. ~Woodrow Wilson, 1914 _________________

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. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children...
This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
--- Dwight D. Eisenhower, from a speech labeled 'Chance for Peace', April 1953. Eisenhower served as Army general and 34th President of the United States, born 1890, died 1969
