We must get rid of all the guns.

War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.

We all say no to war, we are all for justice and peace. But sometimes in order to maintain peace, armed action is necessary. But we hope it won't be the case.

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.

Sometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.

Lightly armed nations can move toward war just as easily as those which are armed to the teeth, and they will do so if the usual causes of war are not removed.

No matter how many people you kill, using a machine gun in battle is not a war crime because it does not cause unnecessary suffering; it simply performs its job horrifyingly well.

If you use weapons of war to bring about peace, you're going to have more war and destruction.

War is something of man's own fostering, and if all mankind renounces it, then it is no longer there.

I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people.
