Lysander Spooner: “Men have also a natural right to convey their natural rights of property from one person to another.”

In short, they acknowledge themselves hostes humani generis: enemies of the human race.

On the contrary, they acknowledge themselves robbers, murderers, and villains, pure and simple.

They do not carry their heads high, above all other men, and demand our reverence and admiration, as statesmen, patriots, and benefactors.

They do not attempt to deceive us, or mislead us, or reconcile us to their doings, by any such pretences, impostures, or insults as these.
