"Crime and punishment grow out of one..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Why need I volumes, if one word suffice?”

“There is no privacy that cannot be penetrated. No secret can be kept in the civilized world. Society is a masked ball where everyone hides his real character, then reveals it by hiding”

“Be silly. Be honest. Be kind.”

“One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.”

“Equality before the law is probably forever unattainable. It is a noble ideal, but it can never be realized, for what men value in this world is not rights but privileges.”

“Where evil men would seek to perpetuatean unjust status quo,good men must seek to bring into beinga real order of justice.”

“The criminal law is no use to decent people.”

“They [the Reagan Administration] want to put street criminals in jail to make life safer for the business criminals. They're against street crime, providing that street isn't Wall Street.”

“To England will I steal, and there I'll steal.”
