There are no rewards or punishments - only consequences.

Happiness is not a reward - it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it is a result.

For each of our actions there are only consequences.

Years of research in psychology has shown that rewards and punishments can be very effective in changing behavior. But, at the same time, they can create an addiction to rewards and punishments.

In its function, the power to punish is not essentially different from that of curing or educating.

Crimes, like virtues, are their own rewards.

For neither life nor nature cares if justice is ever done or not.

One is punished by the very things by which he sins.

All punishment is mischief; all punishment in itself is evil.
