Honor? Maybe they're letting him sleep on silk, but a prisoner is still a prisoner.
Robert Jordan
Prisoner, God has given you good abilities, instead of which you go about the country stealing ducks.
William Arabin
"We consider a prisoner unfortunate. He is unfortunate in two ways — because he has done something wrong and because he is deprived of his liberty. Therefore we should treat him kindly, because of his misfortune, for otherwise he would become hard and bitter and would not be sorry he had done wrong. Ozma thinks that one who has committed a fault did so because he was not strong and brave; therefore she puts him in prison to make him strong and brave. When that is accomplished he is no longer a prisoner, but a good and loyal citizen and everyone is glad that he is now strong enough to resist doing wrong. You see, it is kindness that makes one strong and brave; and so we are kind to our prisoners."
L. Frank Baum
Being asked where in Greece he saw good men, he replied, "'Good men nowhere, but good boys at Sparta."
Diogenes of Sinope
One recalls the governor of Texas who, asked if the Bible should also be taught in Spanish, replied that "if English was good enough for Jesus, then it is good enough for me." Rightly are the simple so called.
