“He who is punished is never he who performed the deed. He is always the scapegoat.”
“And if there's bad behaviour," Mma Potokwane went on. "If there's bad behaviour, the quickest way of stopping it is to give more love. That always works, you know. People say we must punish when there is wrongdoing, but if you punish you're only punishing yourself. And what's the point of that?”
“...the degree of someone's just punishment is not a function of how long it took to commit the deed; rather, it's a function of how severe the deed itself was.”
“In this world everything changes except good deeds and bad deeds; these follow you as the shadow follows the body.”
“Bad deeds like beauty, are in the eye of the beholder.”
