Punishment Quotations
He who is in evil, is also in the punishment of evil. Emanuel Swedenborg If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. Albert Einstein A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. Oscar Wilde The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else. George Bernard Shaw Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment. Mohandas Gandhi |
