Quote by Benjamin Franklin

Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed too severe, seldom executed.

Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed too severe, seldom execute

Summary

This quote suggests that laws that are too lenient are often disregarded and people fail to obey them because they do not see serious consequences for their actions. On the other hand, laws that are too strict and severe may not be effectively enforced due to the overly harsh penalties associated with them. Therefore, a balance must be struck in creating laws that are fair and proportionate to ensure both compliance and effective execution.
