Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.

Summary

This quote implies that acts of charity or generosity cannot make up for the absence of fairness and justice. While charitable actions may alleviate immediate suffering, they do not address the root causes of inequality and injustice. True justice requires addressing and rectifying societal injustices, rather than relying solely on acts of benevolence. It stresses the importance of promoting fairness and equality as the fundamental solution, rather than relying solely on acts of charity that may perpetuate and normalize existing unjust systems.
