All persons ought to endeavour to follow what is right, and not what is established.
- — Aristotle
It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our necessities but of their advantages.

The statist looks at a problem and always sees a gun as the only solution – the force of the state, the brutality of law, violence and punishment. The anarchist – the endless entrepreneur of social organization – always looks at a problem and sees an opportunity for peaceful, innovative, charitable or profitable problem-solving.
- — Stefan Molyneux
War is delightful to those who have not experienced it.
- — Erasmus

Equality before the law and material equality are therefore not only different but are in conflict with each other; and we can achieve either one or the other, but not both at the same time.
- — F.A. Hayek
The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law.
- — Aristotle
