There is no such thing as justice in the abstract; it is merely a compact between men.
EpicurusInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Any time we are misused or used for a purpose other than what God intended us for, it’s damaging.
Joyce MeyerFame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.
Francis BaconBut if you – if what – the reports are true, what they’re saying is, is that as a consequence of us getting 30 million additional people health care, at the margins that’s going to increase our costs, we knew that.
Barack ObamaJustice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.
Marcus Tullius CiceroNobody is above the law. Imagine if there allegations against Modi and he is the Prime Minister. Should the case not be pursued just because he has become the PM. It should not be so that it should be stopped. I am not above the law.
Narendra ModiUntil justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men’s skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.
Lyndon B. JohnsonIt is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right.
Henry David ThoreauRevenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.
Samuel JohnsonYou need to understand, if you take out a government, take out a regime, guess who becomes the government and regime and is responsible for the country? You are. So if you break it, you own it.
Colin PowellPeace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
Baruch SpinozaTo God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
HeraclitusJustice and truth are too such subtle points that our tools are too blunt to touch them accurately.
Blaise PascalI have long understood that losing always comes with the territory when you wander into the gambling business, just as getting crippled for life is an acceptable risk in the linebacker business. They both are extremely violent sports, and pain is part of the bargain. Buy the ticket, take the ride.
Hunter S. ThompsonI think the first duty of society is justice.
Alexander HamiltonDo not ask for what you will wish you had not got.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaTruth is always in harmony with herself, and is not concerned chiefly to reveal the justice that may consist with wrong-doing.
Henry David ThoreauStupidity has a knack of getting its way.
Albert CamusI think some of my colleagues‘ spicier lines are distracting. They draw attention away from what the justice is trying to say.
Ruth Bader GinsburgMen should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries – for heavy ones they cannot.
Niccolo MachiavelliAny government that supports, protects or harbours terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent and equally guilty of terrorist crimes.
George W. BushTo cut short the question of the law of retaliation, we must note that even in its primitive form it can operate only between two individuals of whom one is absolutely innocent, and the other absolutely guilty. The victim, to be sure, is innocent. But can the society that is supposed to represent the victim lay claim to innocence?
Albert CamusThe essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor.
George OrwellNot to help justice in her need would be an impiety.
PlatoA jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.
Robert FrostThe course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.
George W. BushWhat is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.
Aldous HuxleyHe who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.
Abraham LincolnA private soldier has as much right to justice as a major-general.
Abraham LincolnEverybody will make mistakes, and for some that mistake will rise to the level of being a crime.
Kamala HarrisThere is no satisfaction in hanging a man who does not object to it.
George Bernard ShawThere is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.
Mahatma GandhiIt is right to give every man his due.
PlatoSome people will have to be afraid. Those who plunder the nation, deliver injustice, will have to feel scared of me. And I am not afraid of admitting this. Government cannot be so lenient that it forgives them.
Narendra ModiOne cannot violate the promptings of one’s nature without having that nature recoil upon itself.
Jack LondonResistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony.
Noam ChomskyEven though the risks of death are higher driving than flying, many people would rather drive simply because they feel they have more control driving. The facts are that only a few hundred people die a year flying, and 44,000 are killed a year driving.
Robert KiyosakiUse every man after his desert, and who should scape whipping?
William ShakespeareWar settles nothing.
Dwight D. EisenhowerSometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.
Pope FrancisIn war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.
Winston ChurchillWe are not punished for our sins, but by them.
Elbert HubbardThe Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor led to many very good things. If you follow the trail, it led to kicking Europeans out of Asia – that saved tens of millions of lives in India alone.
Noam ChomskyWhat is human warfare but just this; an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.
Henry David ThoreauWe win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.
Mahatma GandhiOne who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.
SocratesWhatever you have, you must either use or lose.
Henry FordSo while I will never minimize the costs involved in military action, I am convinced that a failure to act in Libya would have carried a far greater price for America.
Barack ObamaIt’s what counts, isn’t it, on the Sunday, rather than pre-season testing. If you lock up, you do a little mistake, it’s nothing, but if you do it on Sunday, you lose a place or you have to box for a flat spot or something like that. It’s a much bigger problem.
Lando NorrisI don’t think that a Justice should have uppermost in her mind, ‚A Democratic president appointed me, so I must leave to be sure that another Democratic president can appoint my successor.‘
Ruth Bader GinsburgI’m not somebody that just wants to hold up a white flag and say, ‚Let’s all just get along.‘ I think people that do horrible things should be held accountable.
Angelina JolieSmooth functioning of social life has always depended on the recognition of certain basic limits to behavior. We cannot simply say or do anything we wish, or offend people, without paying consequences – isolation, ostracism, etc.
Robert GreeneI’ve written some great things. That’s a gift, but there’s consequences. Yeah, you get this great work, but you suffer. You really, really suffer.
Frank OceanPlay not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.
George EliotHe that sows thorns should never go barefoot.
Benjamin FranklinPerhaps if you are in support functions waiting on the warfighters to spell out the specifics of what you are to do, you can avoid the consequences of not reading. Those who must adapt to overcoming an independent enemy’s will are not allowed that luxury.
Jim MattisChildren say that people are hung sometimes for speaking the truth.
Joan of ArcWhen anger rises, think of the consequences.
ConfuciusWe think the Dred Scott decision is erroneous. We know the court that made it has often overruled its own decisions, and we shall do what we can to have it overrule this.
Abraham Lincoln
