Ludwig von Mises Quotes About Aggression
-

They misuse their power for the oppression of those whom they were expected to defend against oppression. The main political problem is how to prevent the police power from becoming tyrannical. This is the meaning of all the struggles for liberty.

War no longer pays; there is no motive for aggression... All nations can coexist peacefully.
