Famous quotes containing the words violation, law and/or punishment:

    Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It has often been a solid Grief to me, when I have reflected on this glorious Nation, which is the Scene of publick Happiness and Liberty, that there are still Crowds of private Tyrants, against whom there neither is any Law now in Being, nor can there be invented any by the Wit of Man. These cruel Men are ill-natured husbands.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    My object all sublime I shall achieve in time—
    To let the punishment fit the crime— The punishment fit the crime; And make each prisoner pent Unwillingly represent
    A source of innocent merriment! Of innocent merriment!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
