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.

Every success in limiting armaments is a sign that the will to achieve mutual understanding exists, and every such success thus supports the fight for international law and order.

The security of which we speak is to be attained by the development of international law through an international organization based on the principles of law and justice.

So long as peace is not attained by law (so argue the advocates of armaments) the military protection of a country must not be undermined, and until such is the case disarmament is impossible.

We pacifists have not ceased to point to the grave danger of armaments and to insist on their curtailment.

Limitation of armaments in itself is economically and financially important quite apart from security.

Thus, if armaments were curtailed without a secure peace and all countries disarmed proportionately, military security would have been in no way affected.

It will be sufficient to point to the enormous burdens which armaments place on the economic, social, and intellectual resources of a nation, as well as on its budget and taxes.

Armaments are necessary - or are maintained on the pretext of necessity - because of a real or an imagined danger of war.

Pacifist propaganda and the resolutions of the parliamentarians encouraged such treaties, and toward the end of the nineteenth century their number had increased considerably.

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

The miracle of the moment!

How will we ever get out of the labyrinth of suffering ?

My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.

Goodness is, so to speak, itself; badness is only spoiled goodness. And there must be something good first before it can be spoiled.

I laughed more in the hospital than I ever have in my life, making fun of all the weird things that were happening to me.

The whole shadow of Man is only as big as his hat.

The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; O, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove.

My knees buckled. It's the last thing I expected

I have no delusions that I'm the only source of improving people's lives or that I'm even the right source. My style is intense, and it's not going to be right for everybody.
