Ammunition Quotes

The first and most imperative necessity in war is money, for money means everything else - men, guns, ammunition. (Ida Tarbell)
Don't be the ammunition wagon, be the rifle ... knowledge exists primarily for use. View quote
Carl Rogers
In previous armies, soldiers used their time to clean their weapons and stock up on ammunition. Our weapons are words, and we may need our arsenal at any moment. View quote
Subcomandante Marcos
In the debate between those who believe in essentially unregulated markets and others who hold that reasonable regulation diminishes market excesses without inhibiting their basic function, the subprime situation unfortunately provides ammunition for the latter view. View quote
Barney Frank
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary. View quote
Karl Marx
I wear heels, and it's not for a fashion statement - it's ammunition. View quote
Nikki Haley
The Supreme Court's only armor is the cloak of public trust; its sole ammunition, the collective hopes of our society. View quote
Irving R. Kaufman
Our actions in the Middle East over the last 15 years have already guaranteed radical Muslims quite enough ammunition to kill Americans for the next century, even if Guantanamo did not exist. View quote
Nick Clooney
You whites make all the ammunition. View quote
Red Cloud
[...] The image superimposed on Ricci's field of view by his visor display showed a pair of guards in hooded parkas, goggles, and wool scarves taking relaxed strides along their patrol of the building's north side. Their shoulder-slung FN P90 assault weapons fired the same ammunition as his FN Five-seveN pistol: small rounds, big punch. [...]. View quote
Tom Clancy
Praising the Lord and passing the ammunition are mutually exclusive ideas. (Phil Donahue)
Jesus told His disciples all about the tribulation they WOULD have to endure and NONE of them ran off to a cabin in the woods and began gathering food and ammunition! They ALL went out to win souls like crazy! They understood full well about the "prize” offered to those who endured to the end! View quote
Kent Hovind
So about 80 years after the Constitution is ratified, the slaves are freed. Not so you'd really notice it of course; just kinda on paper. And that of course was at the end of the Civil War. Now there is another phrase I dearly love. That is a true oxymoron if I've ever heard one - civil war. D'you think anybody in this country could ever really have a civil war? "Say, pardon me...*machinegun sounds*... I'm awfully sorry! Awfully sorry." Now of course the Civil War has been over for about 120 years. But... not so you'd really notice it. Because you see we have these people called "Civil War buffs"... in fact some of these people actually get dressed up once a year and then go out and re-fight these battles. D'you know what I say to these people? USE LIVE AMMUNITION ASSHOLES, WOULD YA PLEASE?! You might just raise the intelligence level of the American gene pool! View quote
George Carlin
The consensus is that no more than five to ten people in a hundred who die by gunfire in Los Angeles are any loss to society. These people fight small wars amongst themselves. It would seem a valid social service to keep them well-supplied with ammunition. View quote
Jeff Cooper
If you Brexit sensibly and effectively, you take away so much of the ammunition of the SNP. View quote
Boris Johnson
We promised the Europeans freedom. It would be worse than dishonorable not to see that they have it. This might mean war with the Russians, but what of it? They have no air force, and their gasoline and ammunition supplies are low. I've seen their miserable supply trains; mostly wagons drawn by beaten up old horses or oxen. I'll say this; the Third Army alone and with damned few casualties, could lick what is left of the Russians in six weeks. You mark my words. Don't ever forget them. Someday we will have to fight them and it will take six years and cost us six million lives. View quote
George S. Patton
A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. View quote
Henry Miller
A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation. Lend and borrow to the maximum. View quote
Henry Miller
I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the City of Savannah, with one hundred and fifty guns and plenty of ammunition, also about twenty-five thousand bales of cotton. View quote
William Tecumseh Sherman
I was expecting Pop Bassett to give an impersonation of a bomb falling on an ammunition dump, but he didn't. Instead, he continued to exhibit that sort of chilly stiffness which you see in magistrates when they're fining people five quid for boyish peccadilloes. View quote
P. G. Wodehouse
The early cars Already are Drawing deep breaths past my door. And last night's phrases, Sick with lack of basis, Are still writhing on my floor.And it doesn't seem fair That your wicked words should work In holding me down. No, it doesn't seem right To take information Given at close range For the gag And the bind And the ammunition round. (Fiona Apple)
A 14-year-old Indiana girl was arrested after she came to a middle school with a handgun, ammunition, and six small bags of marijuana. Man, Dakota Fanning's growing up so fast! View quote
Amy Poehler
Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similes (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time). View quote
Ernest Hemingway
Russia's election spectacle on March 18 isn't only a domestic distraction. It provides Putin's defenders in the free world with rhetorical ammunition, as do the approval polls and fake controversies over the fake opposition candidates. There is no form of democratic process or opposition in Putin's Russia. Pretending otherwise makes you complicit in his propaganda. Stop calling them elections. Stop calling Putin a president. Stop calling to congratulate him on his victories. Let us begin the fight against Putin's lies with the fundamental truth about what he really is. View quote
Garry Kasparov
To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America's enemies, and pause to America's friends. They encourage people of good will to remain silent in the face of evil. View quote
