Punishment Quotes

Capital punishment is the source of many an argument, both good and bad Picture Quote #1

If someone were to say that life at hard labor is as painful as death and therefore equally cruel, I should reply that, taking all the unhappy moments of perpetual slavery together, it is perhaps even more painful, but these moments are spread out over a lifetime, and capital punishment exercises all its power in an instant Picture Quote #1

PLAGUE, n. In ancient times a general punishment of the innocent for admonition of their ruler, as in the familiar instance of Pharaoh the Immune. The plague today . . . is merely Nature’s fortuitous manifestation of her purposeless objectionableness Picture Quote #1

Understanding isn’t learned from punishment and anger. An iron has no gentle touch, and love ain’t learned from hate Picture Quote #1

Power-Over leads to punishment and violence. Power-With leads to compassion and understanding, and to learning motivated by reverence for life rather than fear, guilt, shame, or anger Picture Quote #1

Play, creativity, art, spontaneity, all these experiences are their own rewards and are blocked when we perform for reward or punishment, profit or loss Picture Quote #1

Regardless of the gender of the highest wage earner, the balance of power in the relationship will suffer if the higher earner uses control of the purse strings as a system of reward and punishment. It will also suffer if the lower earner takes a chippy, haughty attitude to spending money they haven’t actually generated themselves Picture Quote #1

Christ managed to boil down an awful lot of commandments to a few very simple rules for living. It’s when you go backwards through the ‘begats’ and the Garden of Eden, and you start thinking, ‘Hang on, that’s a big punishment for eating one lousy apple... There’s a human-rights issue.’ Picture Quote #1

Discipline isn’t a dirty word. Far from it. Discipline is the one thing that separates us from chaos and anarchy. Discipline implies timing. It’s the precursor to good behavior, and it never comes from bad behavior. People who associate discipline with punishment are wrong: with discipline, punishment is unnecessary Picture Quote #1

I think the main thing is trying to be fair, sometimes there has to be a little bit of discipline, maybe even punishment involved in trying to make your child understand, learn from bad experiences and make sure they don’t happen again Picture Quote #1

There should be no such thing as a vice law. Every vice is only a bad habit, and the punishment is inherent in the act Picture Quote #1

If I had admitted my guilt, it would have been the same as putting my head on the chopping block - lifetime ban. Death penalty. I spent my entire life on the baseball fields of America, and I was not going to give up my profession without first seeing some hard evidence ... right or wrong, the punishment didn’t fit the crime, so I denied the crime Picture Quote #1

Ironically, to my children, bedtime is a punishment that violates their basic rights as human beings Picture Quote #1

Allah is Most Merciful even when He sends us trials, for even His punishment is for our own good Picture Quote #1

To be misunderstood can be the writer’s punishment for having disturbed the reader’s peace. The greater the disturbance, the greater the possibility of misunderstanding Picture Quote #1

In places where marriage’s core meaning has been altered through legal action, officials are beginning to target for punishment those believers and churches that refuse to adapt Picture Quote #1

The ‘Course in Miracles’ says one day you will realize that death is not the punishment but the reward. And it says that birth is not the beginning of life but a continuation. And physical death is not the end of life but a continuation Picture Quote #1

I learned discipline from my father. Not in terms of corporal punishment, but being determined in whatever you do, and sticking with it Picture Quote #1

I watch him go, and wonder if being good isn’t its own punishment as much as it’s supposed to be its own reward Picture Quote #1

I think I wish I had never spanked my children, but I have. And they remember every instance like they tattooed it on their palms. I think it’s a terrible lesson, to use physical punishment to make a point about not behaving, not being kind to their siblings, to other people. I mean that’s just absurd. But I’ve lost it, I understand it Picture Quote #1

I think we make our own hell down here during our life times- the penalty for not being true; the punishment for fear; we suffer the consequences Picture Quote #1

I remember my uncle and my father telling me that my mother didn’t want me because I was blind. She thought being blind was a disgrace and a punishment from God Picture Quote #1

To believe in a just law of cause and effect, carrying with it a punishment or a reward, is to believe in righteousness Picture Quote #1

The liar’s punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else Picture Quote #1

In countries with a properly functioning legal system, the mob continues to exist, but it is rarely called upon to mete out capital punishment. The right to take human life belongs to the state. Not so in societies where weak courts and poor law enforcement are combined with intractable structural injustices Picture Quote #1

The story of the Jews in the Bible is replete with incidents of their ingratitude to God for His gifts to them: incidents that just as repeatedly merit and receive punishment Picture Quote #1

Never abbreviate your dreams. Only short-hand people always do that. Their punishment is that they can’t stretch far, further and forward into the future. Dream only big dreams! Picture Quote #1

It takes a major unhappiness, a prolonged and bitter experience, to drive us away from loyalties once formed. And sometimes no amount of punishment can make us repudiate our loyalty Picture Quote #1

The fact is, in the minds of many, Trayvon Martin received the appropriate punishment for a true crime: He was black, male and dared to walk outside. In life, young Trayvon was just a teenager; in death, he has been transformed into a scary, lurking, suspicious, prone-to-violence spook Picture Quote #1

Now, I - for several years while I was researching this book, I felt quite obsessed by thoughts about sentencing, punishment, how judges arrive at their decisions Picture Quote #1
