Wonderful Law

Famous quotes containing the words wonderful and/or law:

“It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“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)
