Quote

In a civilized society, all crimes are likely to be sins, but most sins are not and ought not to be treated as crimes. Man's ultimate responsibility is to God alone.

There is one, and only one, thing in modern society more hideous than crime namely, repressive justice.

Crimes sometimes shock us too much; vices almost always too little.

Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.

Religion is a strange, wonderful thing. More crimes have been committed in the name of righteousness than any other notion.

We are often deterred from crime by the disgrace of others.

In my view, there is nothing more vicious and outrageous than the abuse, exploitation and harm of the most vulnerable members of our society, and I firmly believe that our nation's laws and resources need to reflect the seriousness of these terrible crimes.

There is nothing you can do to assuage your conscience when you commit sins. Crime is a spiritual assault on the soul.

Crimes are more often committed out of fear than wickedness. People live frightened, desperate lives.
