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.
