"No greater wrong can ever be done than to put a good man at the mercy of a bad, while telling him not to defend himself or his fellows; in no way can the success of evil be made surer or quicker."

- Theodore Roosevelt

"Self defense is justly called the primary law of nature, so it is not, neither can it be in fact, taken away by the laws of society."

- Sir William Blackstone, 1765

"There exists a law, not written down anywhere, but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading . . . a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by instruction but by natural intuition. I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right."

- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 44 b.c.

"What these twisted souls hate is the notion that individual American victims of crime or oppression should retain any power to defend themselves, rather than mewling piteously into the telephone and then patiently waiting for our government masters to dispense aid at their leisure."

- Vin Suprynowicz

"I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand." - Susan B. Anthony,1871

"When the world is at peace, a gentleman keeps his sword by his side."

- Ho Yen-hsi

"The first right of every human being is the right of self-defense. Without that right, all other rights are meaningless. The right of self-defense is not something the government bestows upon its citizens. It is an inalienable right, older than the Constitution itself. It existed prior to government and prior to the social contract of our Constitution."

- Larry Craig, Senator (R-Idaho), 2000

"The law could not restore life to my dead carcass."

- John Locke
