Famous quotes containing the word justice:

    Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales. Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the constant omission of a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    But since he had
    The genius to be loved, why let him have
    The justice to be honored in his grave.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    With us justice is the true measure of religion.
    Marcus Minucius Felix (2nd or 3rd cen. A.D.)
