Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of justice as the cornerstone of any civilized society. It suggests that any significant deviation from justice, regardless of the situation or context, is grounds for suspicion, as it may indicate a lack of coherent policy altogether.

The earth had donned her mantle of brightest green; and shed her richest perfumes abroad. It was the prime and vigour of the year; all things were glad and flourishing.
