Let us discover together what some historical figures said about justice. I will be choosing brilliant people from different fields to get a diversified perspective.
The Novelist:
“Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
The President:
“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”
― Benjamin Franklin
The Activist:
“Truth never damages a cause that is just.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
The Historian:
“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Philosopher:
“It is better to risk saving a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one.”
― Voltaire
