Justice Quotes

Court... a place where they dispense with justice.

Arthur Train

I have received no assurance that anything we can do will eradicate suffering. I think the best results are obtained by people who work quietly away at limited objectives, such as the abolition of the slave trade, or prison reform, or factory acts, or tuberculosis, not by those who think they can achieve universal justice, or health, or peace. I think the art of life consists in tackling each immediate evil as well as we can.

C.S. Lewis

If thou suffer injustice, console thyself; the true unhappiness is in doing it.

Democritus

There's nothing written in the Bible, Old or New testament, that says, If you believe in Me, you ain't going to have no troubles.

Ray Charles

Sentences are like sharp nails, which force truth upon our memories.

Denis Diderot

Fat Charlie had had no real liking for the police, but until now, he had still managed to cling to a fundamental trust in the natural order of things, a conviction that there was some kind of power--a Victorian might have thought of it as Providence--that ensured that the guilty would be punished while the innocent would be set free. This faith had collapsed in the face of recent events and had been replaced by the suspicion that he would spend the rest of his life pleading his innocence to a variety of implacable judges and tormenters, many of whom would look like Daisy, and that he would in all probability wake up in cell six the next morning to find that he had been transformed into an enormous cockroach. He had definitely been transported to the kind of maleficent universe that transformed people into cockroaches.

Neil Gaiman

The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, and wretches hang that jurymen may dine.

Alexander Pope

How unfair the fate which ordains that those who have the least should be always adding to the treasury of the wealthy.

Terence

A fox should not be of the jury at a goose's trial.

Thomas Fuller

Every story has three sides. Yours, mine and the facts.

Foster M. Russell

There is no such thing as justice in the abstract; it is merely a compact between men

Epicurus

He who spares the bad injures the good.

Publilius Syrus

They do injury to the good who spares the bad.

Publilius Syrus

It is better to risk saving a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one.

Voltaire

Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.

Samuel Johnson

'Irritable Judges suffer from a bad case of premature adjudication.'

Sir John Mortimer

Justice is having and doing what is one's own

Plato

God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.

Peter Marshall

Justice is always violent to the party offending, for every man is innocent in his own eyes.

Daniel Defoe

The severest justice may not always be the best policy

Abraham Lincoln
