“It is not only spirits who punish the evil, the soul brings itself to judgment”

Sallustius Roman philosopher and writer

XIX. Why sinners are not punished at once.
On the Gods and the Cosmos
Context: It is not only spirits who punish the evil, the soul brings itself to judgment: and also it is not right for those who endure for ever to attain everything in a short time: and also, there is need of human virtue. If punishment followed instantly upon sin, men would act justly from fear and have no virtue.

“No judgment can be just or wise, but that which is built on the conviction of the paramount worth and importance of duty.”

William Ellery Channing (1780–1842) United States Unitarian clergyman

Slavery (1835)
Context: No judgment can be just or wise, but that which is built on the conviction of the paramount worth and importance of duty. This is the fundamental truth, the supreme law of reason; and the mind which does not start from this, in its inquiries into human affairs, is doomed to great, perhaps fatal error. The right is the supreme good, and includes all other goods. In seeking and adhering to it, we secure our true and only happiness. All prosperity, not founded on it, is built on sand.

“Let them respect my convictions, and I will respect theirs!”

Guy De Maupassant (1850–1893) French writer
