"Young people don't always do what they're told, but if they can pull it off and do something wonderful, sometimes they escape punishment."

In any case, frequent punishments are a sign of weakness or slackness in the government. There is no man so bad that he cannot be made good for something. No man should be put to death, even as an example, if he can be left to live without danger to society.
