If we do not maintain Justice, Justice will not maintain us.

Summary

This quote implies that justice is not a passive system that automatically protects us, but rather something that needs to be actively upheld and preserved by society.

It emphasizes the reciprocal relationship between individuals and the idea of justice, asserting that we must actively promote and sustain justice in order to truly benefit from its existence.

But the time must come when inhumanity protected by custom and thoughtlessness will succumb before humanity championed by thought. Let us work that this time may come.
