The more laws the more offenders. – Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732

The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime. – Max Stirner, The Ego and His Own

Laws: We know what they are, and what they are worth! They are spider webs for the rich and mighty, steel chains for the poor and weak, fishing nets in the hands of the government. – Pierre Joseph Proudhon, quoted in The Match!
