Justice Quotes
The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold
The world is a fine place. The only thing wrong with it is us. How little justice and humility there is in us, how poorly we understand patriotism!
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
This reasonable moderator, and equal piece of justice, Death.
Sir Thomas Browne
For decades, the circle of liberty and security and development has been expanding in our world. This progress has brought unity to Europe, self-government to Latin America and Asia, and new hope to Africa. Now we have the historic chance to widen the circle even further, to fight radicalism and terror with justice and dignity, to achieve a true peace, founded on human freedom.
George Walker Bush
The essence of justice is mercy.
Edwin Hubbell Chapin
Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom. To be fruitful, the two ideas must find their limits in each other.
Albert Camus
Justice could be cruel, and crueler yet necessity, but mercy was the cruelest thing of all.
Orson Scott Card
When people are friends, they have no need of justice, but when they are just, they need friendship in addition.
Aristotle
What are the American ideals? They are the development of the individual for his own and the common good; the development of the individual through liberty, and the attainment of the common good through democracy and social justice.
Louis Dembitz Brandeis
Ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.
James Baldwin
Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.
Blaise Pascal
Words like freedom, justice, democracy are not common concepts; on the contrary, they are rare. People are not born knowing what these are. It takes enormous and, above all, individual effort to arrive at the respect for other people that these words imply.
James Baldwin
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
Barry Goldwater
Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of us. To build for man a world without fear, we must be without fear. To build a world of justice, we must be just. And how can we fight for liberty if we are not free in our own minds? How can we ask others to sacrifice if we are not ready to do so?... Only in true surrender to the interest of all can we reach that strength and independence, that unity of purpose, that equity of judgment which are necessary if we are to measure up to our duty to the future, as men of a generation to whom the chance was given to build in time a world of peace.
Dag Hammarskjld
