Quotes by Thomas Holmes  (?)

“But human nature is a strange mixture, for while excessive punishment hardens and demoralizes a wrong-doer, leniency often confirms him. It is, and must always be, a serious matter of interpose between a wilful wrong-doer and the punishment of his deed; but the punishment must be just and sensible, or worse evils will follow.”
Thomas Holmes, KNOWN TO THE POLICE
