As soon as men live entirely in accord with the law of love natural to their hearts and now revealed to them, which excludes all resistance by violence,and therefore hold aloof from all participation in violence—as soon as this happens, not only will hundreds be unable to enslave millions, but not even millions will be able to enslave a single individual. Do not resist the evildoer and take no part in doing so, either in the violent deeds of administration, in the law courts, the collection of taxes, or above all in soldiering,and no one in the world will be able to enslave you.
