Quote by Cesare Beccaria
"Liberty consists not in the absence of all restraint, but in the presence of wise and limited laws."
"Liberty consists not in the absence of all restraint, but in the presence of wise and limited laws."
"It is better to prevent crimes than to punish them."
"The purpose of punishment is not to torment a sensible being, nor to undo a crime already committed."
"Certainty of punishment, even if mild, is more effective than severity."
"Laws are the conditions under which men, naturally independent, unite to form society."
