With the aid of this credit policy, however, Germany created an armament second to none, and this armament in turn made possible the results of our policy.

Hjalmar Schacht

Armament should be an illegality everywhere, and some sort of international force should patrol a treaty-bound world. Partial armament is one of those absurdities dear to moderate-minded 'reasonable' men. Armament itself is making war. Making a gun, pointing a gun, and firing it are all acts of the same order. It should be illegal to construct anywhere upon earth any mechanism for the specific purpose of killing men. When you see a gun it is reasonable to ask: 'Whom is that intended to kill?'

H. G. Wells

80 percent of the export of armament in the world comes from the G8 countries. [The] United States alone exports about 50 percent of the world's armament, [for] which, of course, there has to be buyers, and the buyers are very terribly keen, very often military dictator[s] or sometimes not military dictator[s] but for military purposes. But the sellers are also promoting this trade. And two thirds of the arm exports go to developing countries. I'm in favor of putting a control on it, a ban on it.

Amartya Sen

In all my activities as Armament Minister I never once visited a labor camp, and cannot, therefore, give any information about them.

Albert Speer

In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided.

Albert Einstein

Why buy repeater carbines and nuclear armament - if this is kept at home a child can play with it

Jean Chretien

The armament industry is indeed one of the greatest dangers that beset mankind. It is the hidden evil power.

Albert Einstein

One of the primary necessities of the world for the maintenance of peace is the elimination of the frictions which arise from competitive armament.

Herbert Hoover

Having served in both Pakistan and India, I'm familiar with how their nuclear armament influenced regional stability.

Will Hurd

If only the authorities could be made to realize that the forces leading them on in the armament race are just insane.

Alva Myrdal

The idea of achieving security through national armament is, at the present state of military technique, a disastrous illusion.

Albert Einstein

We have agreements with many countries including Iran, including Russia, including other countries that are about different things including armament. It's cooperation like any cooperation between any two countries, which is normal. It's not related to the crisis.

Bashar al-Assad

Competition in armament, both land and naval, is not only a terrible burden upon the people, but I believe it to be one of the greatest menaces to the peace of the world.

Frank B. Kellogg

Two conditions render difficult this historic situation of mankind: It is full of tremendously deadly armament, and it has not progressed morally as much as it has scientifically and technically.
