Summary

This quote suggests that justice does not solely arise from logical reasoning, but rather stems from a place of goodness that is rooted in wisdom. It implies that true justice is grounded in a deeper understanding of what is morally right and virtuous. In other words, the ability to discern and implement justice is not simply a result of intellect, it also requires the benevolence and insight that wisdom brings. Only through the combination of both reason and goodness can justice be achieved in its fullest sense.
