Death Penalty Quotes

Only the doctor and the judge have the right to inflict the death penalty without receiving the same Picture Quote #1

It sends the signal that you can kill and walk away and not face the kind of justice that you ought to pay for those kinds of acts Picture Quote #1

The fact that the evil ones, as long as they live, can be corrected from their errors does not prohibit that they may be justly executed, for the danger which threatens from their way of life is greater and more certain than the good which may be expected from their improvement Picture Quote #1

If the law imposed the death penalty for parking tickets, we’d not only have fewer parking tickets, we’d also have much less driving Picture Quote #1

We don’t cut off the hands of thieves or castrate rapists. Why must we murder murderers? Picture Quote #1

I wonder if these death penalty proponents would still hold that it’s worth some risk of error if it were their loved one who was murdered by the state, though innocent Picture Quote #1

When once a certain class of people has been placed by the temporal and spiritual authorities outside the ranks of those whose life has value, then nothing comes more naturally to men than murder Picture Quote #1

I support guns and I support the death penalty. Half of my interviews are convincing liberals they’re not liberal Picture Quote #1

Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime Picture Quote #1

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor Picture Quote #1

With every cell of my being and with every fiber of my memory I oppose the death penalty in all forms. I do not believe any civilized society should be at the service of death. I don’t think it’s human to become an agent of the angel of death Picture Quote #1

The abolition of the death penalty is making us a civilized society. It shows we actually do mean business when we say we have reverence for life Picture Quote #1

Criminals, people who commit crimes, usually society rejects these people. They are also part of our society. Give them some form of punishment to say they were wrong, but show them they are part of society and can change. Show them compassion Picture Quote #1

To condemn someone to death is to surrender; it proves that you failed. You are not able to change him, to change her; you have to kill him or her. You surrender... You only demonstrate your lack of capacity, your helplessness. This is failure Picture Quote #1

You believe an eye for an eye until you are put in that situation. If they kill those guys, it really doesn’t mean much to me. My father is gone Picture Quote #1

Capital punishment, like the rest of the criminal justice system, is a government program, so skepticism is in order Picture Quote #1

My overriding belief is that it is always possible for criminals to improve and that by its very finality the death penalty contradicts this Picture Quote #1

What will be left of the power of example if it is proved that capital punishment has another power, and a very real one, which degrades men to the point of shame, madness, and murder? Picture Quote #1

Our ancestors... purged their guilt by banishment, not death. And by so doing, they stopped that endless vicious cycle of murder and revenge Picture Quote #1

The mood and temper of the public in regard to the treatment of crime and criminals is one of the most unfailing tests of the civilisation of any country Picture Quote #1

Crime is redeemed by remorse, but not by a blow of the axe or slipknot. Blood has to be washed by tears but not by blood Picture Quote #1

I am passionately opposed to the death penalty for anyone... I think, myself, that it is an obscenity Picture Quote #1

The death sentence is a barbaric act... It is a reflection of the animal instinct still in human beings Picture Quote #1

The death penalty would be even more effective, as a deterrent, if we executed a few innocent people more often Picture Quote #1

May the death penalty, an unworthy punishment still used in some countries, be abolished throughout the world Picture Quote #1

If one of our fellow citizens can be executed with so much doubt surrounding his guilt, then the death penalty system in our country is unjust and outdated Picture Quote #1

I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to condone any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life. We cannot support any act of killing; no killing can be justified. But not to kill is not enough... If in your thinking you allow the killing to go on, you also break this precept. We must be determined not to condone killing, even in our minds Picture Quote #1

McVeigh's lawyer got him the death penalty, which, quite frankly, I could have done Picture Quote #1
