Among pacifists it was above all the English who always insisted on the importance of disarmament. They said that the man in the street would not understand the kind of pacifism that neglected to demand immediate restriction of armaments.
Ludwig Quidde

As a first step there must be an offer to achieve equality of rights in disarmament by abolishing the weapons forbidden to the Central Powers by the Peace Treaties.
Arthur Henderson

Conflict is not inevitable, but disarmament is... everyone now accepts that if there is a default by Saddam the international community must act to enforce its will.
Tony Blair

Disarmament or limitation of armaments, which depends on the progress made on security, also contributes to the maintenance of peace.
Ludwig Quidde

Disarmament requires trust.
Gustav Heinemann

Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Even a total and universal disarmament does not guarantee the maintenance of peace.
Ludwig Quidde

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

I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.
Roger Nash Baldwin

I appeal to the responsibility of the blocs and the major powers, not to seek security in the arms race, but rather in a meeting for joint disarmament and arms limitations.
Gustav Heinemann

I think the disarmament of Iraq is inevitable.
Douglas Feith

I want to move to a world of no nuclear weapons but I want to do that through multilateral disarmament so that we all disarm together.
Ed Miliband

I've also gotten to play in front of a million people in Central Park when there was a grass roots movement calling for nuclear disarmament - it was about 1982 - they called it Peace Sunday.
Jackson Browne

If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything, it is that peace does not follow disarmament - disarmament follows peace.
Bernard Baruch

In terms of weapons, the best disarmament tool so far is nuclear energy. We have been taking down the Russian warheads, turning it into electricity. 10 percent of American electricity comes from decommissioned warheads.
Stewart Brand

Iraq did not spontaneously opt for disarmament. They did it as part of a ceasefire, so they were forced to do it, otherwise the war might have gone on. So the motivation has been very different.
Hans Blix

It has become impossible to give up the enterprise of disarmament without abandoning the whole great adventure of building up a collective peace system.
Arthur Henderson

Let me remind you that nuclear disarmament is not just an ardent desire of the people, as expressed in many resolutions of the United Nations. It is a legal commitment by the five official nuclear states, entered into when they signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Joseph Rotblat

Mick Jagger and I just really liked each other a lot. We talked all night. We had the same views on nuclear disarmament.
Jerry Hall

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