I know not with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be
fought with sticks and stones.
I didn't know yours, although it sounds like Tolkien.

I think this is traditionally attributed to Einstein, but I would probably
have to perform some research in order to verify that. (Misattributions

normal published paper encyclopedia.
