Quotations regarding 'Injustice'

Choose a letter: 
The strictest law sometimes becomes the severest injustice.
Benjamin Franklin, American Politician (1706-1790)
Nothing can make injustice just but mercy.
Robert Frost, American Poet (1874-1963)
When the whole world has their eyes on you, if you say something that doesn't truly come from your spirit and your soul, or if you wear something that doesn't come from your spirit and your soul, it's an injustice to your position. And so, I'm really myself every single day and I do it because I know my fans would want me to.
Lady Gaga, American Musician (1986-  )
It is better to have too much courtesy than too little, provided you are not equally courteous to all, for that would be injustice.
Baltasar Gracian, Spanish Philosopher (1601-1658)
You cannot raise the standard against oppression, or leap into the breach to relieve injustice, and still keep an open mind to every disconcerting fact, or an open ear to the cold voice of doubt.
Learned Hand, American Judge (1872-1961)
Destiny is a good thing to accept when it's going your way. When it isn't, don't call it destiny; call it injustice, treachery, or simple bad luck.
Joseph Heller, American Novelist (1923-1999)
Since when do we have to agree with people to defend them from injustice?
Lillian Hellman, American Dramatist (1907-1984)
Since the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.
Audrey Hepburn, Belgian Actress (1929-1993)
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace, Roman Poet
The world is neither wise nor just, but it makes up for all its folly and injustice by being damnably sentimental.
Thomas Huxley, English Scientist (1825-1895)
What irritates me is the bland way people go around saying, 'Oh, our attitude has changed. We don't dislike these people any more.' But by the strangest coincidence, they haven't taken away the injustice; the laws are still on the books.
Christopher Isherwood, American Author (1904-1986)
The international community is pushing things forward in Bosnia... but it is doing it at expense of the Muslim people. I feel it as an injustice, these are the things that I cannot live with.
Alija Izetbegovic, Bosniak Activist (1925-2003)
I came to poetry through the urgent need to denounce injustice, exploitation, humiliation. I know that's not enough to change the world. But to remain silent would have been a kind of intolerable complicity.
Tahar Ben Jelloun, French Poet (1944-  )
At 21, I discovered repression and injustice. The army would shoot students with real bullets.
Tahar Ben Jelloun, French Poet (1944-  )
The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.
Lyndon B. Johnson, American President (1908-1973)
And this we should believe: that hope and volition can bring us closer to our ultimate goal: justice for all, injustice for no-one.
Eyvind Johnson, Swedish Author (1900-1976)
Injustice boils in men's hearts as does steel in its cauldron, ready to pour forth, white hot, in the fullness of time.
Mother Jones, American Activist (1837-1930)
The greatest injustice in the world is to bring a child into the world, and not be able to offer it peace.
Nafisa Joseph, Indian Model (1978-2004)
The injustice done to an individual is sometimes of service to the public.
Junius, -
A book might be written on the injustice of the just.
Pauline Kael, American Critic (1919-2001)
