We admit, by a rare blasphemy, that evil may have been created, and we set ourselves up as judges, rewarding and punishing because our intellect is too feeble to grasp everything, and to show us that all is good in the sight of God.
Nous admettons, par un rare blasphème, que le mal a pu être créé, et nous voilà nous érigeant en juges, récompensant et punissant, parce que nos sens sont trop faibles pour pénétrer chaque chose, pour nous montrer que tout est bien devant Dieu.

«I believe he already repents sincerely of his having practised it," said Mrs. Wilson, "and is sufficiently punished for his error by its consequence. A life of misery for four months is a serious penalty to a lover.»
– Je crois qu’il se repent déjà sincèrement de l’avoir employée, dit Mrs Wilson en souriant, et son erreur est assez punie par les suites qu’elle a eues pour son repos : quatre mois de souffrances sont un châtiment bien sévère pour un amant.

Tantôt, me rappelant les serments de cette fille, je voulais me convaincre que ma lettre était trop douce encore et qu'il n'y avait pas d'expressions assez fortes pour flétrir une femme qui se riait d'un amour aussi sincère que le mien.

Indeed, the right of the state to punish and the obligation of the criminal to accept punishment are tied to society's acceptance of the criminal as a person with rights and responsibilities.
En fait, le pouvoir de l'État d'infliger une peine et l'obligation du criminel d'accepter cette peine sont liés à la reconnaissance du criminel comme une personne ayant des droits et des responsabilités.
