Ludwig Quidde Men Quotations

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.

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.

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

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