George Walker Bush
Education is the strongest weapon available for restricting the questions people ask, controlling what they think, and ensuring that they get their thoughts from above.
John Carroll
Avarice is disgrace; cowardice is a defect; poverty often disables an intelligent man from arguing his case; a poor man is a stranger in his own town; misfortune and helplessness are calamities; patience is a kind of bravery; to sever attachments with the wicked world is the greatest wealth; piety is the best weapon of defence.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
No weapon that slays Its victim so surely (if well aimed) as praise.
Edward George Earl Bulwer Lytton
Democracy is a constant tension between truth and half-truth and, in the arsenal of truth, there is no greater weapon than fact.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Jean Anouilh
Commonly they must use their feet for defense whose only weapon is their tongue.
Sir Philip Sidney
Contempt is the weapon of the weak and a defense against one's own despised and unwanted feelings.
Alice Miller
There is no nonsense so gross that society will not, at some time, make a doctrine of it and defend it with every weapon of communal stupidity.
Robertson Davies
Humour is the weapon of unarmed people: it helps people who are oppressed to smile at the situation that pains them.
Simon Wiesenthal
Wine is the first weapon that devils use in attacking the young.
St. Jerome
