It is idle to say that nations can struggle to outdo each other in building armaments and never use them. History demonstrates the contrary, and we have but to go back to the last war to see the appalling effect of nations competing in great armaments.

  • -- Frank B. Kellogg 弗兰克·B·凯洛格

说各国在建设军备方面能够相互竞争而永远不使用军备,这是毫无根据的。历史恰恰相反,我们只要回顾上次战争,就可以看到各国在强大军备中竞争的可怕后果。
