Justice Quotes

Marcus Tullius Cicero

In our dreams we have seen another world, an honest world, a world decidedly more fair than the one in which we now live.

It is a common thing to screw up justice to the pitch of an injury. A man may be over-righteous, and why not over-grateful, too? There is a mischievous excess that borders so close upon ingratitude that it is no easy matter to distinguish the one from the other; but, in regard that there is good-will in the bottom of it, however distempered; for it is effectually but kindness out of the wits.
Seneca the Younger

In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled.

Andrew Weil

James Howard Kunstler

Martin Luther King, Jr.
