“Without disarmament there can be no lasting peace. On the contrary, the continuation of military armaments in their present extent will with certainty lead to new catastrophies...For the creation of this public opinion in favor of disarmament every person living shares the responsibility, through ever deed and every word.”

Probable attribution
A source trail connects this quotation to Albert Einstein and writing for the 1932 Disarmament Conference, included in The Nation 1865-1990: Selections From the Independent Magazine of Politics and Culture (1990), but the exact English wording has not been confirmed in a primary text. The attribution is therefore probable rather than definitive.
