Albert Einstein Quotes. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Then this from 1764...

“False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that it has no remedy for evils, except destruction.

The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are of such a nature.

Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”—Cesare Beccaria (1764)

I remember Beccaria from my CJ classes. Also that other Cesare, Lombroso. Those men had a lot to do with the formation of criminology as a behavioral science.
