Summary

This quote suggests that true justice in a society can only be achieved if the individuals within that society possess a sense of justice within themselves. It implies that the moral foundation of justice should be deeply rooted in the hearts and souls of the citizens, serving as a driving force in their actions and behaviors. Without this internal sense of justice, it becomes challenging for any system or government to establish and maintain justice in the broader scope of society.
