“Care should be taken that the punishment does not exceed the guilt; and also that some men do not suffer for offenses for which others are not even indicted.”
“The greatest incitement to guilt is the hope of sinning with impunity.”
“Guilt is present in the very hesitation, even though the deed be not committed.”
“An innocent man, if accused, can be acquitted; a guilty man, unless accused, cannot be condemned. It is, however, more advantageous to absolve an innocent than not to prosecute a guilty man.”
