One HP3000'er wrote me privately and enlarged the quote:

========================================

We have a nice, large poster on the wall of our office with that quotation
from Eisenhower:

        Every gun that is made, every warship launched,
        every rocket fired signifies in the final sense,
        theft from those who hunger and are not fed, from
        those who are cold and are not clothed.

Other similar quotes:

"Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about
war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living."
     -- Gen Omar N. Bradley

"War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys
the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today."
     -- John F. Kennedy
