Punishment Quotations
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. Albert Einstein Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment. Mohandas Gandhi Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment. Mohandas Gandhi The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness. Aristotle A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book. Ernest Hemingway A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. Oscar Wilde Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty. Henry Ford The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men. Plato God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation. John Calvin To believe in a just law of cause and effect, carrying with it a punishment or a reward, is to believe in righteousness. Ernest Holmes |
