Self-defense Quotes

Every war, when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac. (George Orwell)
I only direct in self-defense. View quote
Mel Brooks
Murder begins where self-defense ends. View quote
Georg Büchner

Morarji Desai
I strongly believe that the Second Amendment creates an individual right to possess and use guns for purposes of both hunting and self-defense. View quote
Cass Sunstein
When you look at where the Democratic field is going relative to foreign policy, they are increasingly moving away from a policy of pre-emptive self-defense that the president has adopted since September 11. View quote
Ed Gillespie
When you shoot someone who is fleeing, it's not self-defense. It's an execution. View quote
Stephen L. Carter
The revolution must end and the republic must begin. In our constitution, right must take the place of duty, welfare that of virtue, and self-defense that of punishment. Everyone must be able to prevail and to live according to one's own nature. View quote
Georg Büchner
I often say that sociology is a martial art, a means of self-defense. Basically, you use it to defend yourself, without having the right to use it for unfair attacks. View quote
Pierre Bourdieu
Every fascist state like Germany, France, or modern Poland takes away citizen's right to self-defense. Fascist Americans such as Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton want to take arms away from American society. View quote
Janusz Korwin-Mikke
No possible future government in Kabul can be worse than the Taliban, and no thinkable future government would allow the level of Al Qaeda gangsterism to recur. So the outcome is proportionate and congruent with international principles of self-defense. (Christopher Hitchens)
(God) gives the weak a weapon for self-defense that the strong, despite his military and nuclear arsenals, can do nothing against. There are clerics who condemn this and even say that these are suicide operations that are not allowed in Islam. View quote
Yusuf Qaradawi
When you imagine mistakes, there can be no self-defense. View quote
Frank Herbert
The two most important things to do for self-defense are not to take a martial arts class or get a gun, but to think like the opposition and know where you're most at risk. View quote
Barry Eisler
In silence - and in self-defense - I figured things out in my own little way. View quote
Loretta Young
Snowden was extremely good at digital self-defense. When he was employed by the C.I.A. and N.S.A., one of his jobs was to teach U.S. national security officials and C.I.A. employees how to protect their data in high-threat digital environments. View quote
Luke Harding
The only times an Afro-American who was assaulted got away has been when he had a gun and used it in self-defense. View quote
Ida B. Wells-Barnett
At what point is someone precluded from availing themselves of the justification of self-defense because of their own poor judgment or bad behavior? View quote
Dan Gelber
The Second Amendment does protect the right to people to possess weapons for self-defense in the home. That's what the Supreme Court said. View quote
Laurence Tribe
What can you do? More and more Americans are carrying a gun in the car. An ex-cop I know advises that if you have to use a gun on a youth, you should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as soon as possible. Such a gun cannot, of course, be registered to you, but one bought privately (through the classifieds, for example.) I frankly don't know what to make of such advice, but even in my little town of Jackson, Texas, I've urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self-defense. For the animals are coming. View quote
Ron Paul
The most important element of a free society, where individual rights are held in the highest esteem, is the rejection of the initiation of violence. All initiation of force is a violation of someone else's rights, whether initiated by an individual or the state, for the benefit of an individual or group of individuals, even if it's supposed to be for the benefit of another individual or group of individuals. Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense. (Ron Paul)
Finally, there is a compelling moral argument against war in Iraq. Military force is justified only in self-defense; naked aggression is the province of dictators and rogue states. This is the danger of a new "preemptive first strike" doctrine. America is the most moral nation on earth, founded on moral principles, and we must apply moral principles when deciding to use military force. View quote
Ron Paul
Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense. View quote
Ron Paul
Our young people who go off to war and who join the service, we need to honor them because they're willing to risk their lives to protect us, to defend us, so we can have this way of life. And the agreement that they make with us is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. I think most Americans - I just saw the latest poll today - 54% now believe that invading Iraq wasn't the wisest thing to do - it wasn't certainly in self-defense. You weren't threatened; I wasn't being threatened, and that's the only time, because ultimately if it was your child...would you give up your child to secure Fallujah? View quote
Michael Moore
If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single State, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair. View quote
Alexander Hamilton
