Forgiveness is a pillar of justice.

It is of particular value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Revenge-seeking minds destroy states, while those seeking reconciliation build nations.

Forgiveness is not an elective in the curriculum of life. It is a required course, and the exams are always tough to pass.

Forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives, forgetting loses the lesson.

You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?

There is but one thing of real value—to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.

Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither person nor property will be safe.

If the machine of government is of such a nature that requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.

Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If all people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth.

Perfect wisdom has four parts; Wisdom, the principle of doing things right. Justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and private. Fortitude, the principle of not fleeing danger, but meeting it. Temperance, the principle of subduing desires and living moderately.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh unless, since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellows.

The first requisite of civilization is that of justice.

It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.

My experience has shown me that we win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.

Wherever there is injustice, war, discrimination against women, gays and the disadvantaged, I did my best to show up and exert moral persuasion.
