Justice Is Achieved Only When Injustice Is

Now Since Man Is Naturally Inclined To Avoid Pain - And Since Labor Is Pain In Itself - It Follows That Men Will Resort To Plunder Whenever Plunder Is Easier Than Work. History Shows This Quite Clearly. And Under These Conditions, Neither Religion Nor Morality Can Stop It. When, Then, Does Plunder Stop? It Stops When It Becomes More Painful And More Dangerous Than Labor. It Is Evident, Then, That The Proper Purpose Of Law Is To Use The Power Of Its Collective Force To Stop This Fatal Tendency To Plunder Instead Of To Work. All The Measures Of The Law Should Protect Property And Punish Plunder.

The Mind Never Fully Accepts Any Convictions That It Does Not Owe To Its Own Efforts.

This Question Of Legal Plunder Must Be Settled Once And For All, And There Are Only Three Ways To Settle It: (1) The Few Plunder The Many. (2) Everybody Plunders Everybody. (3) Nobody Plunders Anybody.

If Everyone Enjoyed The Unrestricted Use Of His Faculties And The Free Disposition Of The Fruits Of His Labor, Social Progress Would Be Ceaseless, Uninterrupted, And Unfailing.

The Balance Of Trade Is An Article Of Faith.
