65 BC - 8 BC

Where does guilt and punishment lie, and are we not more expressive over remorse or guilt when other people see the badness in us?

Joel Edgerton

Whatever guilt is perpetrated by some evil prompting, is grievous to the author of the crime. This is the first punishment of guilt that no one who is guilty is acquitted at the judgment seat of his own conscience.

Juvenal

No acquisitions of guilt can compensate the loss of that solid inward comfort of mind, which is the sure companion of innocence and virtue; nor can in the least balance the evil of that horror and anxiety which, in their room, guilt introduces into our bosoms.

Henry Fielding

Intrinsic value follows meaning follows form follows economics follows function follows more economics follows market research.

Erik Adigard

As fear is a close companion to falsehood, so truth follows fearlessness.

Jawaharlal Nehru

Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.

Coco Chanel

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

Voltaire

Punishment follows close on crime.

Horace

No punishment is so terrible as prosperous guilt.

William Ellery Channing

In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

In everything, satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

One must accept the fact that we have only one companion in this world, a companion who accompanies us from the cradle to the grave - our own self. Get on good terms with that companion - learn to live with yourself.

Agatha Christie

The (capital punishment) controversy passes the anarch by. For him, the linking of death and punishment is absurd. In this respect, he is closer to the wrongdoer than to the judge, for the high-ranking culprit who is condemned to death is not prepared to acknowledge his sentence as atonement; rather, he sees his guilt in his own inadequacy. Thus, he recognizes himself not as a moral but as a tragic person.

Ernst Junger

Guilt always hurries towards its complement, punishment: only there does its satisfaction lie.

Lawrence Durrell

Guilt always hurries towards its complement, punishment; only there does its satisfaction lie.

Lawrence Durrell

It seemed an advantage to be traveling alone. Our responses to the world are crucially moulded by the company we keep, for we temper our curiosity to fit in with the expectations of others...Being closely observed by a companion can also inhibit our observation of others; then, too, we may become caught up in adjusting ourselves to the companion's questions and remarks, or feel the need to make ourselves seem more normal than is good for our curiosity.

Alain de Botton
