The Plans Differ; The Planners Are All

Law Is Justice. In This Proposition A Simple And Enduring Government Can Be Conceived. And I Defy Anyone To Say How Even The Thought Of Revolution, Of Insurrection, Of The Slightest Uprising Could Arise Against A Government Whose Organized Force Was Confined Only To Suppressing Injustice.

Why Don't You Reform Yourselves? That Task Would Be Sufficient Enough.

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.

Justice Is Achieved Only When Injustice Is Absent.

There Is In All Of A Strong Disposition To Believe That Anything Lawful Is Also Legitimate. This Belief Is So Widespread That Many Persons Have Erroneously Held That Things Are "just" Because The Law Makes Them So.
