Quote by Cesare Beccaria
"The strength of a nation lies not in the force of its arms, but in the justice of its laws."
"The strength of a nation lies not in the force of its arms, but in the justice of its 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."
