Justice Quotes
-
If you're a Supreme Court justice, the American people have elevated you to one of the highest offices in the land out of the goodness of their heart and out of deference to your legal wisdom.

In social life, in the family government, in the Church, and in the State this is an acknowledged and invariable law.

We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly I have never yet engaged in a direct action movement that was 'well timed,' according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word 'Wait!' It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This 'wait' has almost always meant 'never.' We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that 'justice too long delayed is justice denied.'
Martin Luther King, Jr.
-
An nice lady in the back...asked what I thought about how we begin to move forward. I think it is up to each individual, which then moves to your family, which moves to your community.

Alfred Doblin

The protection of God cannot, without sacrilege, be invoked but in behalf of justice and right.
Lajos Kossuth
-
Justice will win - because might does not make right, and the only path to lasting peace is when people know that their dignity will be respected and that their rights will be upheld.
