Law Scored

Famous quotes containing the words law and/or scored:

    If he who breaks the law is not punished, he who obeys it is cheated. This, and this alone, is why lawbreakers ought to be punished: to authenticate as good, and to encourage as useful, law-abiding behavior. The aim of criminal law cannot be correction or deterrence; it can only be the maintenance of the legal order.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    It could be said that the AIDS pandemic is a classic own-goal scored by the human race against itself.
    —(B. 1950)
