Divine Justice

Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or justice:

    But misery still delights to trace
    Its ‘semblance in another’s case.

    No voice divine the storm allay’d,
    No light propitious shone;
    When, snatch’d from all effectual aid,
    We perish’d, each alone:
    But I beneath a rougher sea,
    And whelm’d in deeper gulphs than he.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)

    The good judge is not he who does hair-splitting justice to every allegation, but who, aiming at substantial justice, rules something intelligible of the guidance of suitors.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
