Quote by Robert G. Ingersoll

Justice should remove the bandage from her eyes long enough to distinguish between the vicious and the unfortunate.


Justice should remove the bandage from her eyes long enough

Summary

This quote suggests that justice should be discerning and able to perceive the difference between those who intentionally act in a harmful or malicious manner (the vicious) and those who have fallen victim to unfortunate circumstances. It implies that justice should not be blind in a way that all offenders are treated equally, regardless of intent or situation. Instead, it advocates for a fair and balanced approach where justice takes into account the nuances of each individual case, ensuring that punishment is appropriate and proportional to the offense committed.
