No treaty, however much it may be to the advantage of all, however tightly it may be worded, can provide absolute security against the risks of deception and evasion. But it can, if it is sufficiently effective in its enforcement and if it is sufficiently in the interests of its signers, offer far more security and far fewer risks than an unabated, uncontrolled, unpredictable arms race. ~ John F. Kennedy

Today, every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when this planet may no longer be habitable. Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or by madness. The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us… The mere existence of modern weapons … is a sources of horror and discord and distrust.
~ John F. Kennedy

I agree with the many who consider freezing all sorts of weapons systems a first step in a realistic disarmament policy. -- Alva Myrdal

More must be done in concrete terms in order to promote the cause of disarmament.
-- Alva Myrdal

The smaller nations can in fact exercise greater influence on disarmament negotiations than they have hitherto done.
-- Alva Myrdal

"What is wrong with keeping guns out of the hands of the wrong people?" -- Gregory Peck

When distrust exists between governments, when there is a danger of war, they will not be willing to disarm even when logic indicates that disarmament would not affect military security at all. -- Ludwig Quidde Time and time again we have experienced efforts directed toward this popular and simple concept of securing peace by means of disarmament. -- Ludwig Quidde Disarmament or limitation of armaments, which depends on the progress made on security, also contributes to the maintenance of peace. -- Ludwig Quidde

Moral disarmament is to safeguard the future; material disarmament is to save for the present, that there may be a future to safeguard.
-Elihu Root
