Famous quotes containing the words guilty and/or plea:
“Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“If weakness may excuse,
What murtherer, what traitor, parricide,
Incestuous, sacrilegious, but may plead it?
All wickedness is weakness: that plea therefore
With God or man will gain thee no remission.”
