Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or justice:

    “It is one of the chief skills of the philosopher not to occupy himself with questions which do not concern him.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    “Her wrongs are ... indissolubly linked with all undefended woe, all helpless suffering, and the plenitude of her “rights” will mean the final triumph of all right over might, the supremacy of the moral forces of reason and justice and love in the government of the nation. God hasten the day.”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
