A Quote by Gustav Heinemann

Disarmament requires trust. — © Gustav Heinemann
Disarmament requires trust.
We shall never be able to effect physical disarmament until we have succeeded in effecting moral disarmament.
There is an urgent need for disarmament of all kinds, but especially nuclear disarmament.
The relationship of the two problems is rather the reverse. To a great extent disarmament is dependent on guarantees of peace. Security comes first and disarmament second.
Building trust begins with an appreciation and understanding of trust, but it also requires practice and practices.
In a nuclear war there would be no victors, only victims. The truth of peace requires that all ... strive for a progressive and concerted nuclear disarmament.
We should put away the militaristic outlook. The U.S. should start talking about disarmament, nuclear disarmament, of the region.
If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything, it is that peace does not follow disarmament - disarmament follows peace.
The world wants disarmament, the world needs disarmament. We have it in our power to help fashion future history.
The popular, and one may say naive, idea is that peace can be secured by disarmament and that disarmament must therefore precede the attainment of absolute security and lasting peace.
That's why I always question this sense. The feeling of home really requires a lot of trust. It requires you to identify with it, which I always find myself very contradictory to.
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record.
Trust, which is a virtue, is also a habit, like prayer. It requires exercise. And just as no one can run five miles a day and cede the cardiovascular effects to someone else, no one can trust for us.
Optimism requires confidence, and confidence is built on trust. And trust, as we know, flows in both directions.
Inner disarmament, external disarmament; these must go together, you see. Peace is not just mere absence of violence - genuine peace must start in each individual heart.
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
Moral disarmament is to safeguard the future; material disarmament is to save for the present, that there may be a future to safeguard.
