Quote by Cesare Beccaria
"Society must choose between the rule of law and the rule of men."
"Society must choose between the rule of law and the rule of men."
"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."
