Vote in accordance with the established laws, not pity the guilty

Remember that you have come here to vote in accordance with the established laws, not to pity the guilty, but much rather to be angry with them and to be protectors of the whole State.  Lysias.  Against Alcibiades 2.  Speech 15.  Section 9.
