Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or justice:

    Life is not intellectual or critical, but sturdy. Its chief good is for well-mixed people who can enjoy what they find, without question.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Men are mad most of their lives; few live sane, fewer die so.... The acts of people are baffling unless we realize that their wits are disordered. Man is driven to justice by his lunacy.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
