The most stupendous system of organized robbery known has been that of the church towards woman, a robbery that has not only taken her self-respect but all rights of person; the fruits of her own industry; her opportunities of education; the exercise of her judgment, her own conscience, her own will.

Matilda Joslyn Gage

If taxation without consent is robbery, the United States government has never had, has not now, and is never likely to have, a single honest dollar in its treasury. If taxation without consent is not robbery, then any band of robbers have only to declare themselves a government, and all their robberies are legalized.

Lysander Spooner

To take something from a person and keep it for oneself: that is robbery. To take something from one person and then turn it over to another in exchange for as much money as you can get: that is business. Robbery is so much more stupid, since it is satisfied with a single, frequently dangerous profit; whereas in business it can be doubled without danger.

Octave Mirbeau

Aziz Ansari

Property is organized robbery.

George Bernard Shaw

One of my friends is serving 33 years. Armed robbery. Those are the things you should rap about. I don't think you should glorify it at all. I don't really glorify it. I just talk about it. There's nothing special about that life.

Goldlink

Taxation is robbery based on monopoly of weapons

Robert Anton Wilson

In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?

Saint Augustine

Patriotism is a word which always commemorates a robbery.

George Bernard Shaw

Thieves for their robbery have authority When judges steal themselves.

William Shakespeare

The fascination for the Great Train Robbery has never diminished.

Luke Evans

Ultimately, I think people are so hopeful for having some joy in life that is really hard to find. You can't make a living, and the idea of doing one small bank robbery or something, just trying to find your way in a life, finding your footing and ending up behind bars.
