Instead of a few hundreds of thousands of men meeting each other in war, millions would now meet, and modern weapons would multiply manifold the power of destruction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you use weapons of war to bring about peace, you're going to have more war and destruction.
Science has produced such powerful weapons that in a war between great powers there would be neither victor nor vanquished. Both would be overwhelmed in destruction.
A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.
So much destruction in modern war takes place miles and miles away from the source of the destruction, the human being who has caused it.
We cannot fight new wars with old weapons.
Perhaps if all the peoples of the world understand what war really means, we would eliminate it.
Until we have created a romance of peace that would equal that of war, violence will not disappear from people's lives.
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.
If the world is disarmed, and remains disarmed, there will be no more world wars.
I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet, there would be no more wars.
