Text Quotes
The government is a tyrant living by theft, and therefore has no business to engage in any business. (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
I have also seen it stated that Capital punishment is murder in its worst form. I should like to know upon what principle of human society these assertions are based and justified. (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
Monopoly and privilege must be destroyed, opportunity afforded, and competition encouraged. This is Liberty’s work, and Down with Authority her war-cry (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
Capitalism is at least tolerable, which cannot be said of Socialism or Communism (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
If the individual has a right to govern himself, all external government is tyranny. Hence the necessity of abolishing the State (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
One thing, however, is sure, - that in all cases the effort should be to impose all the cost of repairing the wrong upon the doer of the wrong. This alone is real justice, and of course such justice is necessarily free (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
Aggression is simply another name for government (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
Thus, the same blow that strikes interest down will send wages up (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
The right of the majority is absolute (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
We are here, on earth. Not one of us has any right to the earth (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
The essence of government is control, or the attempt to control (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
The cost of justice can be justly paid only by the invader (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
Murder is an offensive act. The term cannot be applied legitimately to any defensive act (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
But this is not to say that the society which inflicts capital punishment commits murder (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
Once for all, then, we are not opposed to the punishment of thieves and murderers; we are opposed to their manufacture (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
In times past... it was my habit to talk glibly of the right of man to land. It was a bad habit, and I long ago sloughed it off. Man’s only right to land is his might over it. If his neighbor is mightier than he and takes the land from him, then the land is his neighbor’s, until the latter is dispossessed by one mightier still (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
And capital punishment, however ineffective it may be and through whatever ignorance it may be resorted to, is a strictly defensive act, at least in theory (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
The moment one abandons the idea that he was born to discover what is right and enforce it upon the rest of the world, he begins to feel an increasing disposition to let others alone and to refrain even from retaliation or resistance except in those emergencies which immediately and imperatively require it (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
The shortest way to change a radical into a conservative, a liberal into a tyrant, a man into a beast, is to give him power over his fellows (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
The makers of dictionaries are dependent upon specialists for their definitions. A specialist’s definition may be true or it may be erroneous. But its truth cannot be increased or its error diminished by its acceptance by the lexicographer. Each definition must stand on its own merits (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
It is not competition, but monopoly, that deprives labor of its product. Destroy the banking monopoly, establish freedom in finance, and down will go interest on money through the beneficent influence of competition. Capital will be set free, business will flourish, new enterprises will start, labor will be in demand, and gradually the wages of labor will rise to a level with its product (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
It is foolish in the extreme not only to resort to force before necessity compels, but especially to madly create the conditions that will lead to this necessity (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
There is no freedom that I would grant to any man that I would refuse to woman, and there is no freedom that I would refuse to either man or woman except the freedom to invade... whoever has the ballot has the freedom to invade, and whoever wants the ballot wants the freedom to invade. Give woman equality with man, by all means; but do it by taking power from man, not giving it to woman (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
The main question... is not what motive inspired the law, but what it will be possible for men of bad motive to do with the law (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
Government is the assumption of authority over a given area and all within it, exercised generally for the double purpose of more complete oppression of its subjects and extension of its boundaries (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
The moment that justice must be paid for by the victim of injustice it becomes itself injustice (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
Commanded love of all men indiscriminately is an obliteration of distinction between love and hate, and therefore is not love at all (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
Such security is equal liberty. But it is not necessarily equality in the use of the earth (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
I insist that there is nothing sacred in the life of an invader, and there is no valid principle of human society that forbids the invaded to protect themselves in whatever way they can (Benjamin Tucker Quotes)
