Justice is my being allowed to do whatever I like. Injustice is whatever prevents my doing so.

Samuel Butler – Justice

It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen; that is the common right of humanity.

Seneca – Denial of justice

Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.

Cicero – Knowledge, Justice

Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.

Francis Bacon – Revenge, Justice

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.
