5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
THOUGHT. The operation of the mind. No one can be punished for his mere
thoughts however wicked they may be. Human laws cannot reach them, first,
because they are unknown; and, secondly, unless made manifest by some
action, they are not injurious to any one; but when they manifest
themselves, then the act, which is the consequence, may be punished. Dig. 50
16, 225.
