Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone commits a crime, fear becomes a natural consequence or punishment that follows them. It implies that fear arises as a result of knowing the potential consequences or repercussions of one's actions. In essence, the fear of being caught, exposed, or facing punishment serves as a form of punishment itself. This quote highlights the idea that fear can be a powerful deterrent against committing crimes, as it is an intrinsic part of the consequences that follow unlawful behavior.

That is not to say stay in your place or hang on to your place, because ambition or boredom may dictate upward or downward mobility, but a sense of place -- a feel for one's own position in the control room -- is useful in gauging what you should try to do.
