Quotations regarding 'Justice'

Choose a letter: 
You see, Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment. Because there is no way we can look at what's happening in Africa, and if we're honest, conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else.
Bono, Irish Musician (1960-  )

We have fought for social justice. We have fought for economic justice. We have fought for environmental justice. We have fought for criminal justice. Now we must add a new fight - the fight for electoral justice.
Barbara Boxer, American Politician (1940-  )
To threaten the institution is to threaten fair administration of justice and protection of liberty.

See, justice is a joke in this country, and it stinks of its hypocricy.

The E.U. is more than just a trade organization or a common market; it is a guarantee of democracy, freedom, justice, and human rights. Nations cannot stay in the E.U. if they do not respect these guarantees.

Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity.

Lois McMaster Bujold, American Writer (1949-  )
Concepts of justice must have hands and feet to carry out justice in every case in the shortest possible time and the lowest possible cost. This is the challenge to every lawyer and judge in America.

All human laws are, properly speaking, only declaratory; they have no power over the substance of original justice.
Edmund Burke, Irish Statesman (1729-1797)
Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.
