No man undertakes a trade he has not learned, even the meanest; yet everyone thinks himself sufficiently qualified for the hardest of all trades, that of government.

It is a struggle for maintaining in the world, that form and substance of government whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men.

The struggle with evil by means of violence is the same as an attempt to stop a cloud, in order that there may be no rain.

Governments not only are not necessary, but are harmful and most highly immoral institutions.

All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.

I used to be cruel to women, and physically-any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace.
