It would be very difficult, if not altogether impossible, to establish any principle upon which the justice or expedience of capital punishment could be founded in a society glorying in its civilization. ~ Karl Marx
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Karl Marx
Many of us do not believe in capital punishment, because thus society takes from a man what society cannot give. ~ Katharine Fullerton Gerould
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Katharine Fullerton Gerould
I am often filled with wonder when I see some men demanding the time of others and those from whom they ask it most indulgent. Both of them fix their eyes on the object of the request for time, neither of them on the time itself; just as if what is asked were nothing, what is given, nothing. Men trifle with the most precious thing in the world; but they are blind to it because it is an incorporeal thing, because it does not come beneath the sight of the eyes, and for this reason it is counted a very cheap thing - nay, of almost no value at all. Men set very great store by pensions and doles, and for these they hire out their labour or service or effort. But no one sets a value on time; all use it lavishly as if it cost nothing. But see how these same people clasp the knees of physicians if they fall ill and the danger of death draws nearer, see how ready they are, if threatened with capital punishment, to spend all their possessions in order to live! So great is the inconsistency of their feelings. But if each one could have the number of his future years set before him as is possible in the case of the years that have passed, how alarmed those would be who saw only a few remaining, how sparing of them would they be! And yet it is easy to dispense an amount that is assured, no matter how small it may be; but that must be guarded more carefully which will fail you know not when. ~ Seneca
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Seneca
Bertrand Russell used to employ the method of evidence against interest; in other words of deciding that a critique of capital punishment, say, carried more weight if it came from a prison governor. (My friend John O'Sullivan puts it like this: If the pope says he believes in God, he's only doing his job; if he says he doesn't believe in God, he may be on to something.) ~ Christopher Hitchens
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Christopher Hitchens
The long and distressing controversy over capital punishment is very unfair to anyone meditating murder. ~ Geoffrey Fisher
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Geoffrey Fisher
There is a certain right by which we many deprive a man of life, but none by which we may deprive him of death; this is mere cruelty. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I've no patience with modern humanitarian scruples about capital punishment. ~ Agatha Christie
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Agatha Christie
Capital punishment could not be justified in any society calling itself civilized. ~ Howard Zinn
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Howard Zinn
Capital punishment kills immediately, whereas lifetime imprisonment does so slowly. Which executioner is more humane? The one whokills you in a few minutes, or the one who wrests your life from you in the course of many years? ~ Anton Chekhov
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Anton Chekhov
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
If I were asked to chose between execution and life in prison I would, of course, chose the latter. It's better to live somehow than not at all. ~ Anton Chekhov
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Anton Chekhov
Capital punishment? It makes no sense as a policy: It's not a deterrent, and economically it's a disaster. It's very clear that there are innocent people on death row. And if I put an innocent person to death, that's murder. ~ Tony Goldwyn
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Tony Goldwyn
I have also seen it stated that Capital punishment is murder in its worst form. I should like to know upon what principle of human society these assertions are based and justified. ~ Benjamin Tucker
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Benjamin Tucker
But what then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared? For there to be equivalence, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life. ~ Albert Camus
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Albert Camus
Crimes against children are the most heinous crime. That, for me, would be a reason for capital punishment because children are innocent and need the guidance of an adult society. ~ Clint Eastwood
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Clint Eastwood
Most people approve of capital punishment, but most people wouldn't do the hangman's job. ~ George Orwell
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by George Orwell
And capital punishment, however ineffective it may be and through whatever ignorance it may be resorted to, is a strictly defensive act, - at least in theory. ~ Benjamin Tucker
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Benjamin Tucker
Let us leave the EEC, abolish human rights laws, take TV sets, pool tables and phones out of prisons, bring back corporal and capital punishment, slash benefits and put single mothers into hostels instead of giving them council flats. Finally, if we chucked out all the illegal immigrants and asylum seekers there would be enough jobs for everyone. ~ Ken Bates
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Ken Bates
As a Catholic, you can have two views on capital punishment. You can think, let Caesar do what Caesar needs to do, and the law says you can impose capital punishment, so you impose it. You can [also] be a Catholic who says we can't kill, we can't kill babies and we can't kill adults. If you let a decision be driven by your personal views, then you are not doing what a judge needs to do, which is enforce the laws of the society that you are in. But you can control your own behavior, and that is the choice that the church and God gives us - what kind of people are we going to be. ~ Sonia Sotomayor
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Sonia Sotomayor
I don't know if the question is whether you believe in capital punishment anymore. I think the greater question is its effectiveness and given the choices we face in California, should we have a merit-based discussion on its effectiveness and costs? ~ Tani Cantil-Sakauye
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Tani Cantil-Sakauye
The serial murderer often seeks the very form of capital punishment that is being held over his head as a deterrent. ~ Joel Norris
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Joel Norris
What becomes a crime deserving capital punishment when the tables are turned is a matter of small moment when the negro woman is the accusing party. ~ Ida B. Wells
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Ida B. Wells
Capital punishment has probably been responsible for a good deal of human progress. The overwhelming majority of those executed were of the sort whose departures for bliss eternal improved the average intelligence and decency of the race. ~ H.L. Mencken
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by H.L. Mencken
I have come to think that capital punishment should be abolished. ~ Jack Kemp
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Jack Kemp
Abstractions about capital punishment were one thing, but the details of systematically killing someone who is not a threat are completely different. ~ Bryan Stevenson
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Bryan Stevenson
Any man knows when he is justified, and all the wits in the world cannot enlighten him on that point. The murderer always knows that he is justly punished; but when a government takes the life of a man without the consent of his conscience, it is an audacious government, and is taking a step towards its own dissolution. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Our rulers will best promote the improvement of the nation by strictly confining themselves to their own legitimate duties, by leaving capital to find its most lucrative course, commodities their fair price, industry and intelligence their natural reward, idleness and folly their natural punishment, by maintaining peace, by defending property, by diminishing the price of law, and by observing strict economy in every department of the state. Let the Government do this: the People will assuredly do the rest. ~ Thomas B. Macaulay
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Thomas B. Macaulay
God manifests himself to us in the first degree through the life of the universe, and in the second degree through the thought of man. The second manifestation is not less holy than the first. The first is named Nature, the second is named Art. ~ Victor Hugo
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Victor Hugo
Those subject to capital punishment are real human beings, with their own backgrounds and narratives. By contrast, those whose lives are or might be saved by virtue of capital punishment are mere 'statistical people.' They are both nameless and faceless, and their deaths are far less likely to be considered in moral deliberations. ~ Cass Sunstein
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Cass Sunstein
The death penalty is no more effective a deterrent than life imprisonment ... It is also evident that the burden of capital punishment falls upon the poor, the ignorant and the underprivileged members of society. ~ Thurgood Marshall
Rampage Capital Punishment 2014 quotes by Thurgood Marshall
