Oscar Wilde
“It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets”
Voltaire
“Clever tyrants are never punished.”
“One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalized by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.”
“We don't give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give 'em plenty of publicity.”
Will Rogers
