Quote by Horace Walpole

Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in itself. Truth tells us what is due to others, and justice renders that due. Injustice is acting a lie.

Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in it

Summary

This quote emphasizes that justice goes beyond being a mere virtue and is instead an active pursuit of truth. It suggests that truth is the foundation upon which justice is built, as it informs us about what is owed to others. Justice, then, is the action of fulfilling these obligations. On the other hand, adopting dishonesty or acting in a manner contrary to truth is considered as injustice. Thus, the quote highlights the inherent connection between truth, justice, and the consequences of deviating from them.
