The similarity to Isaac Asimov's "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" might be a problem.

I'm afraid your're right - I could replace "refuge" with "retreat", but I'm not sure whether this would be sufficient to avoid copyright problems. Any other ideas how we could change the sentence?

I don't think that would suffice as it would still be a derivative work.
