These are some of the famous lines supporting Capital Punishment.
"Men are not hanged for stealing horses, but that horses may not be stolen"
"Law cannot persuade, where is cannot punish". Thomas Fuller
"One of the uses of our system of justice is to warn others... We are reforming, not the hanged individual, but everyone else." Michel de Montaigne
"It is justice, not charity, that is wanting in the world." Mary Wollstonecraft
"The art of policing is, in order not to punish often, to punish severely" Napoleon
"Executing a murderer is the only way to adequately express our horror at the taking of an innocent life. Nothing else suffices. To equate the lives of killers with those of victims is the worst kind of moral equivalency. If capital punishment is state murder, then imprisonment is state kidnapping and restitution is state theft." Don Feder
"Let all the laws be clear, uniform and precise. To interpret laws is almost always to corrupt them." Voltaire
"If he who breaks the law is not punished, he who obeys it is cheated. This, and this alone, is why lawbreakers ought to be punished: to authenticate as good, and to encourage as useful, law-abiding behavior. The aim of criminal law cannot be correction or deterrence; it can only be the maintenance of the legal order."
"If Capital Punishment is state sponsored murder, then any lesser punishment is a state sponsored murder of Justice." Saqib Ali
"It is Justice, not Laws that cures the society. And Capital Punishment is the only Justice that suits a murderer" Saqib Ali
These quotes means that sometimes, Capital Punishment is a right act yet sometimes it's not. Capital punishment are given to people who have done something wrong to the community. But what I believe is that no one is authorized to take a life over his own hands. Only God can take lives away it is He Who gave us this, It is also He Who can take it away...
