I venture to prophesy that there lies before us a bitter and an evil time.

It is the small owner who offers the only really profitable and reliable material for taxation. He is made for taxation.

We hold that what one man cannot morally do, a million men cannot morally do, and government, representing many millions of men, cannot do.

Deny human rights, and however little you may wish to do so, you will find yourself abjectly kneeling at the feet of that old-world god, Force.

And what sort of philosophical doctrine is thi - that numbers confer unlimited rights, that they take from some persons all rights over themselves, and vest these rights in others.

Do you not see, first, that - as a mental abstract - physical force is directly opposed to morality; and secondly, that it practically drives out of existence the moral forces?

You will not make a man wiser by taking freedom of action from him. A man can only learn when he is free to act.

Every tax or rate, forcibly taken from an unwilling person, is immoral and oppressive.

If you tie a man's hands there is nothing moral about his not committing murder.

The ruling idea of the politician - stated rather bluntly - is that those who are opposed to him exist for the purpose of being made to serve his ends, if he can get power enough in his hands to force these ends upon them.

How can an act done under compulsion have any moral element in it, seeing that what is moral is the free act of an intelligent being?

There never yet has been a great system sustained by force under which all the best faculties of men have not slowly withered.

The career of a politician mainly consists in making one part of the nation do what it does not want to do, in order to please and satisfy the other part of the nation.

If government half a century ago had provided us with all our dinners and breakfasts, it would be the practice of our orators today to assume the impossibility of our providing for ourselves.

If we cannot by reason, by influence, by example, by strenuous effort, and by personal sacrifice, mend the bad places of civilization, we certainly cannot do it by force.
