A great amount has been talked and written about what constitutes a sufficient balance and what really is meant by the concepts of "balance" and "deterrence".
Alva Myrdal
Democrats always assure us that deterrence will work, but when the time comes to deter, they're against it.
Ann Coulter
Deterrence is the art of producing, in the mind of the enemy, the fear to attack.
Sterling Hayden
Deterrence itself is not a preeminent value; the primary values are safety and morality.
Herman Kahn
No punishment has ever possessed enough power of deterrence to prevent the commission of crimes. On the contrary, whatever the punishment, once a specific crime has appeared for the first time, its reappearance is more likely than its initial emergence could ever have been.
Hannah Arendt
Nuclear deterrence doesn't work outside of the Russian - U.S. context; Saddam Hussein showed that.
Charles Horner
Of course it can be said of jails, too, that they try - by punishing the troublesome - to deter others. No doubt, in certain instances this deterrence actually works. But generally speaking it fails conspicuously.
Barbara Deming
So, we need to delegitimize the nuclear weapon, and by de-legitimizing... meaning trying to develop a different system of security that does not depend on nuclear deterrence.
Mohamed ElBaradei
The only peace that can be made with a dictator is once that must be based on deterrence. For today, the dictator may be your friend, but tomorrow he will need you as an enemy.
Natan Sharansky
The present basic philosophy is nuclear deterrence.
Joseph Rotblat
We have got thousands of nuclear weapons in order to achieve deterrence.
John Spratt
What has kept the world safe from the bomb since 1945 has not been deterrence, in the sense of fear of specific weapons, so much as it's been memory. The memory of what happened at Hiroshima.
