Quote by Francis Quarles

Wickedness is its own punishment.

Wickedness is its own punishment.

Summary

This quote suggests that engaging in wicked or immoral actions carries its own consequences, regardless of external punishments or judgments. It implies that the very nature of being wicked brings about negative consequences in one's own life, such as guilt, remorse, or a tarnished character. Thus, it highlights the idea that wickedness carries an inherent punishment, without the need for external factors to enforce it. In other words, the act of being wicked in itself already brings about suffering or detrimental effects onto the individual responsible for the wrongdoing.
