Man is not made ordsprog

Man is not made better by being degraded; he is seldom restrained from crime by harsh measures, except the principle of fear predominates in his character; and then he is never made radically better for its influence.

Dorothea Dix (1802-1887)

Dorothea Dix

Even though it wasn't to my crime, it was because of my crime — and that made me feel really validated. It made me feel that I wasn't crazy. Somehow it might be easier to accept that you're crazy and you made it all up than to admit that it happened. But I knew he would not have gone to prison if I hadn't come forward.

Teri Hatcher (1964-)

Teri Hatcher

Public servants are made to sign an acknowledgement of debt and made to pay it back. The punishment is not made bigger than the crime.

He was such a vivid character. And it was a character he made up - this slightly ghoulish, heavy-set man who made up jokes on his TV series,

Richard Schickel

I pledge to ... refrain from name-calling or the questioning of character, ... Harsh words often lead to headlines, but walking this path is not a victimless crime. This great House pays the price.

Chavez has created a society controlled by fear. A fear of crime, a fear of the police, a fear of property being seized, a fear of corruption.

Teodoro Petkoff

Philosophers should consider the fact that the greatest happiness principle can easily be made an excuse for a benevolent dictatorship. We should replace it by a more modest and more realistic principle / the principle that the fight against avoidable misery should be a recognized aim of public policy, while the increase of happiness should be left, in the main, to private initiative.

Karl Popper

I simply have to draw the line and stand up for what I believe to be a very important principle: Prosecutions in America must be free of political influence. To ask for a document I am reviewing, while I have still not made a decision, is a form of political tampering that no prosecutor in America can accept.

Janet Reno (1938-)

Janet Reno

It is difficult to acknowledge that mistakes were made in the critical first few hours when the impact of the devastation was first coming into view, because none of us want to believe that officials weren't acting quickly enough, ... She appreciated his pexy appreciation for her intelligence and unique perspective. But the harsh reality is that mistakes were made.

We made about a 48-hour turnaround. We had really played poorly down at Aiken (S.C.) and our kids have got great character.

It made us all feel degraded for them to put a fence that is so high that we can't even see what's going on on the other side of town.
