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. If people disregard or neglect the principles of justice, the quote suggests that justice itself will no longer provide the benefits and protection it typically ensures. 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.

Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down. A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it. However much we guard ourselves against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us. It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.
