Penalty Quotes

For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium Picture Quote #1

Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal’s deed, however calculated can be compared. For there to be an equivalency, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life Picture Quote #1

You know what an effective deterrent to crime is? Jail! And do you know what kind of criminal penalty actually makes people think twice about committing crimes the next time? The kind that actually comes out of some individual’s pocket, not fines that come out of the corporate kitty Picture Quote #1

After perhaps thirty meters, just as a soldier turned around, the girl was felled. Hands were clamped upon her from behind and the boy next door brought her down. He forced her knees to the road and suffered the penalty. He collected her punches as if they were presents. Her bony hands and elbows were accepted with nothing but a few short moans. He accumulated the loud, clumsy specks of saliva and tears as if they were lovely to his face, and more important, he was able to hold her down Picture Quote #1

So I have to create the whole thing afresh for myself each time. Probably all writers now are in the same boat. It is the penalty we pay for breaking with tradition, and the solitude makes the writing more exciting though the being read less so. One ought to sink to the bottom of the sea, probably, and live alone with ones words Picture Quote #1

There has never been any evidence that the death penalty reduces capital crimes or that crimes increased when executions stopped. Tragic mistakes are prevalent... It is clear that there are overwhelming ethical, financial, and religious reasons to abolish the death penalty Picture Quote #1

The death penalty fulfills a preventive function, but it is also very clearly a form of revenge. It is an especially severe form of punishment because it is so final. The human life is ended and the executed person is deprived of the opportunity to change, to restore the harm done or compensate for it Picture Quote #1

Here is my general approach to the energy companies. You have already charged the utilities a 50 percent credit penalty for the power they were buying from you. You’re charging us a penalty. You’re not going to get two bites of the apple here Picture Quote #1

In our period, they say there is free speech. They say there is no penalty for poets, there is no penalty for writing poems. They say this. This is the penalty Picture Quote #1

You want to play in every game, and you especially don’t want to be in the penalty box for five minutes and give the other team a chance to get a power play, and you don’t want to hurt anyone on the other team Picture Quote #1

When a law enforcement officer apprehends an illegal immigrant, it makes no sense to simply release that individual who has been breaking our laws with no threat of sanction or penalty Picture Quote #1

If we are to abolish the death penalty, I should like to see the first step taken by my friends the murderers Picture Quote #1

The trouble with the death penalty has always been that nobody wanted it for everybody, but everybody differed about who should get off Picture Quote #1

The penalty of success is to be bored by the attentions of people who formerly snubbed you Picture Quote #1

What we’ve seen this season is that if something that will enhance performance is available, some players will indulge... Unless the penalty is an absolute deterrent Picture Quote #1

When you bite off more than you can chew, you pay the penalty, somebody’s got to tell the tale, I guess it must be up to me Picture Quote #1

The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in our health, or we suffer in our soul, or we get fat Picture Quote #1

Whoever in our government leaked that information is guilty of treason, and I think anything less than execution is too kind a penalty Picture Quote #1

It is proper that we acknowledge the overwhelming weight of international opinion against the juvenile death penalty Picture Quote #1

If I have ventured wrongly, very well, life then helps me with its penalty. But if I haven’t ventured at all, who helps me then? Picture Quote #1

If the death penalty is to be abolished, let those gentlemen, the murderers, do it first Picture Quote #1

It is fairly obvious that those who are in favor of the death penalty have more affinity with assassins than those who are not Picture Quote #1

Normally, children learn to gauge rather accurately from the tone of their parent’s voice how seriously to take his threats. Of course, they sometimes misjudge and pay the penalty Picture Quote #1

But the chief penalty is to be governed by someone worse if a man will not himself hold office and rule Picture Quote #1

Labor has a universal position of opposition to the death penalty both at home and abroad... It is not possible in our view to be selective in the application of this policy Picture Quote #1

I don? T think you should support the death penalty to seek revenge. I don? T think that? S right. I think the reason to support the death penalty is because it saves other people? S lives Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the bleakest fact of all is that the death penalty is imposed not only in a freakish and discriminatory manner, but also in some cases upon defendants who are actually innocent Picture Quote #1
