A wrong act is greater when
there is no adequate punishment for it, but all are insufficient; when there is
no remedy, because it is difficult if not impossible to repair it;1
and when the person injured cannot obtain legal satisfaction, since it is
irremediable; for justice and punishment are kinds of remedies.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
