In time of peace, they make secret treaties in advance, and in wartime, they aid one another with military provisions and armaments.

Chinese Politician

Eric Burdon

I feel great that I've been given a chance in the golden years of my life. To me, it's the last battle, and I've been given a chance to get stuck in some good armament, some good power, and there's a chance that now I can finish off my working years with my head held high.

Woodrow Wilson

The question of armaments, whether on land or sea, is the most immediately and intensely practical question connected with the future fortunes of nations and of mankind.

All the vested interests and people who profit by war will - with the journals they control - resolutely oppose any reduction of armaments.
