Summary
This quote suggests that justice is more important than chivalry in cases where it is not possible to have both qualities coexisting. While chivalry typically refers to a code of behavior associated with knights, emphasizing courtesy, honor, and gallantry towards others, justice relates to fairness, impartiality, and the upholding of moral principles. The quote seems to argue that if a choice must be made between prioritizing justice or chivalry, justice should take precedence as it serves a broader purpose in ensuring fairness and equality for all, regardless of societal norms or individual behavior.
