QotD: Offensive and defensive use of the law

Filed under: Government, Law, Quotations — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 01:00

As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from its true purpose — that it may violate property instead of protecting it — then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder.

Frédéric Bastiat, The Law, 1850.
