As a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord God chasteneth thee.
Bible, Deuteronomy.
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 (384-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
He deserves to be preached to death by wild curates.
Sydney Smith (1771-1845) English clergyman, writer.
Whenever the offence inspires less horror than the punishment, the rigour of penal law is obliged to give way to the common feelings of mankind.
Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) English historian.
Thwackum was for doing justice, and leaving mercy to heaven.
Henry Fielding (1707-1754) English novelist, dramatist.
The first time a schoolmaster ordered me to take my trousers down I knew it was not from any doubt that he could punish me efficiently enough with them up.
Laurence (Lord) Oliver (1907-1989) British actor, director.
He must have known me if he had seen me as he was wont to see me, for he was in the habit of flogging me constantly. Perhaps he did but recognize me by my face.
Anthony Trollope (1815-1882).
The whole of life and experience goes to show, that right or wrong doing, whether as to the physical or the spiritual nature, is sure in the end to meet its appropriate reward or punishment. Penalties may be delayed but they are sure to come.
H.W.Beecher.
It is as expedient that a wicked man be punished as that a sick man be cured by a physician; for all chastisement is a kind of medicine.
Plato.
Punishment is lame, but it comes.
Herbert.
The certainty of punishment, even more than its severity, is the preventive of crime.
Tryon Edwards.
One man meets an infamous punishment for that crime which confers a diadem upon another.
Juvenal.
The work of eradicating crimes is not by making punishment familiar, but formidable.
Goldsmith.
Don’t let us rejoice in punishment, even when the hand of God alone inflicts it. The best of us are but poor wretches just saved from shipwreck. Can we feel anything but awe and pity when we see a fellow passenger swallowed by the waves?
George Eliot.
If punishment makes not the will supple it hardens the offender.
Locke.
Wickedness, when properly punished, is disgraceful only to the offender; unpunished, it is disgraceful to the whole community.
C.Simmons.
The public have more interest in the punishment of an injury than he who receives it.
Cato.
The punishment of criminals should be of use; when a man is hanged he is good for nothing.
Voltaire.
We do not aim to correct the man we hang we correct and warm others by him.
Montaigne.
The object of punishment is threefold: for just retribution; for the protection of society; for the reformation of the offender.
Tryon Edwards.
Jails and prisons are the complement of schools; so many less as you have of the latter, so many more you must have of the former.
Horace Mann.
Punishment is justice for the unjust,
Augustine.
Even legal punishments lose all appearance of justice, when too strictly inflicted on men compelled by the last extremity of distress to incur them.
Junius.
There are dreadful punishments enacted against thieves; but it were much better to make such good provisions that every man might be put in a method how to live, and so be preserved from the fatal necessity of stealing and dying for it.
Moore.
