That fear may reach all, punish but few.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear has the ability to impact everyone and create a sense of punishment, but only a select few may actually experience the consequences firsthand. It implies that fear has the power to spread among a large group, instilling a sense of unease or harm, while only targeting a small number of individuals for actual retribution or consequences. It raises questions about the lasting effects of fear and its ability to create a collective apprehension that goes beyond the actions directed at a few individuals.
