Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

The broad effects which can be obtained by punishment in man and beast are the increase of fear, the sharpening of the sense of cunning, the mastery of the desires; so it is that punishment tames man, but does not make him better.

The broad effects which can be obtained by punishment in man

Summary

This quote suggests that punishment can have significant effects on both humans and animals, primarily instilling fear, enhancing their ability to deceive, and suppressing their desires. It argues that punishment has the power to control individuals, yet it does not ultimately lead to their moral or personal improvement. Thus, while punishment may be effective at subduing individuals, it falls short in fostering genuine growth or positive change within them.
