SOME
QUOTES ON JUSTICE
Justice is defined as : the ethical, philosophical idea that people
are to be treated impartially, fairly, properly and reasonably by the law and
by arbiters of the law, that laws are to ensure that no harm befalls another,
and that, where harm is alleged, a remedial action is taken in such a way that both the accuser and the
accused receive a morally right consequence merited by their actions.
Some popular quotes on justice read
as follows.
*Man is
unjust, but God is just; and finally justice triumphs, ----American poet Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-82).
**Justice is
as strictly due between neighbor nations, as between neighbor citizens. A
highwayman is as much a robber when he plunders in a gang, as when single; and
a nation that makes an unjust war is only a great gang of robbers.----American
statesman and author Benjamin Franklin
(1706-90).
***One man’s
word is no man’s word; we should quietly hear both sides. ---German writer Johann
Wolfgang Goethe (1749-1832).
****Justice
is to give every man his own.---Greek philosopher and polymath Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC).
*****Justice
is the idea of God; the ideal of men; the rule of conduct writ in the nature of
mankind. ---American transcendentalist and reforming minister Theodore Parker (1810-1860).
******Justice
is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized
beings and civilized nations together. Wherever her temple stands, is a
foundation for social security, general happiness, and improvement and progress
of our race.---Daniel Webster , Lawyer and former United States Secretary of
State (1782-1852).
Finally, the following viewpoints:
Justice consists in doing no injury
to anyone in the world.
There should be no war to settle any
dispute.
Might should never be considered as right.
Justice and power must be brought together,
so that whatever is just may
be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.
