Robert Green Ingersoll
“I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.”
Albert Einstein
“I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation [and] is but a reflection of human frailty.”
“If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.”
“It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets”
Voltaire
“Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.”
George Sand
“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.”
Oscar Wilde
