"Commerce tends to wear off those prejudices, which maintain destruction and animosity between nations. It softens and polishes the manners of men. It unites them by one of the strongest of all ties the desire of supplying their mutual wants. It disposes them to peace by establishing in every state an order of citizens bound by their interest to be the guardians of public tranquillity." - Frederick William Robertson

[Quote No.15162] Need Area: Friends > General
"We have to condemn publicly the very idea that some people have the right to repress others. In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations." - Alexander I. Solzhenitsyn

Added to these ingredients must be a system of rehabilitation that will accept those convicted of crimes and, through meaningful techniques, change their attitudes in such a manner that they will find it more expedient to be social assets than social liabilities." - Negley K.
