Punishments Inflicted

Famous quotes containing the words punishments and/or inflicted:

    Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalms 149:5-9.

    I suffer more from the humiliations inflicted by my country than from those inflicted on her.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
