“Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.”
“It is a crime to put a Roman citizen in chains, it is an enormity to flog one, sheer murder to slay one: what, then, shall I say of crucifixion? It is impossible to find the word for such an abomination.”
“Crimes are not to be measured by the issue of events, but by the bad intentions of men.”
