“‘Do equal and exact justice’ is my motto, and I have often said to the grand jury, ‘Permit no innocent man to be punished, but let no guilty man escape'”. –Isaac Parker

“A State is absolute in the sense which I have in mind when it claims the right to a monopoly of all the force within the community, to make war, to make peace, to conscript life, to tax, to establish and dis-establish property, to define crime, to punish disobedience, to control education, to supervise the family, to regulate habits, and to censor opinions. The modern State claims all of these powers, and, in the matter of theory, there is no real difference in the size of the claim between communists, fascists, and democrats”. –Walter Lippmann

“The first and fiercest punishment ought to fall first on the traitor, second on the enemy”. –Corneliu Codreanu

“We don’t give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give them a lot of publicity”. –Will Rogers

“The act of policing is, in order to punish less often, punish more severely”. –Napoleon Bonaparte
