[Lat., Non faciat malum, ut inde veniat bonum.] - Legal Maxim Crime is a product of social excess. - Nikolai Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Governments have tried to stop crime through punishment throughout the ages, but crime continued in the past punishment remains. Crime can only be stopped through a preventive approach in the schools. You teach the students Transcendental Meditation, and right away they’ll begin using their full brain physiology sensible and they will not get sidetracked into wrong things. - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi If two people fight on the street, whose fault is it? Who is the criminal? It is the government’s responsibility because the government has not educated the people to not make mistakes. The people have inadequate, incompetent education, so they make mistakes them! It is such a fraud. - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a kind of slander on the poor. - Henry Louis Mencken The contagion of crime is like that of the plague.

[Lat., Ars fit ubi a teneris crimen condiscitur annis.] - Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso), Heroides (IV, 25) Purposelessness is the fruitful mother of crime. - Charles Henry Parkhurst Small crimes always precede great crimes. Whoever has been able to transgress the limits set by law may afterwards violate the most sacred rights; crime, like virtue, has its degrees, and never have we seen timid innocence pass suddenly to extreme licentiousness. - Jean Baptiste Racine The crime of a mother is a heavy burden. [Fr., Le crime d'une mere est un pesant fardeau.] - Jean Baptiste Racine, Phedre (III, 3) Crime is a logical extension of the sort of behavior that often often considered perfectly respectable in legitimate business. - Robert Rice A holding company is a thing where you hand an accomplice the goods while the policeman searches you. - Will Rogers We don't seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business. - Will Rogers With his hand upon the throttle-valve of crime. - Lord Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyne Cecil, 3rd Marquis of Salisbury, in a speech in the House of Lords When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out. - George Santayana He who profits by a crime commits it. - Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca) Most people fancy themselves innocent of those crimes of which they cannot be convicted. - Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca) Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue; the good become the slaves of the impious; might makes right; fear silences the power of the law. [Lat., Prosperum ac felix scelus Virtus vocatur; sontibus patent boni; Jus est in armis, opprimit leges timor.] - Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca), Hercules Furens (CCLI) One crime has to be concealed by another. [Lat., Scelere velandum est scelus.] - Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca), Hippolytus (DCCXXI) No crime has been without a precedent. [Lat., Nullum caruit exemplo nefas.] - Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca), Hippolytus (DLIV) Displaying page 3 of 4 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 2 [3] 4
