Quote by Cesare Beccaria
"Laws exist to preserve society, not to destroy the human spirit."
"Laws exist to preserve society, not to destroy the human spirit."
"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."
