Hosea Ballou Punishment Quotations

I have somewhere read that conscience not only sits as witness and judge within our bosoms, but also forms the prison of punishment.

Hatred is self-punishment. Hatred it the coward's revenge for being intimidated.

The severest punishment suffered by a sensitive mind, for injury inflicted upon another, is the consciousness of having done it.

That kind of discipline whose pungent severity is in the manifestations of paternal love, compassion, and tenderness is the most sure of its object.

There is no immunity from the consequences of sin; punishment is swift and sure to one and all.

Hatred is self-punishment.
