Quote by Cesare Beccaria
"Legislation is the art of determining what is best for society, not what is easiest for the legislator."
"Legislation is the art of determining what is best for society, not what is easiest for the legislator."
"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."
