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?

We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.

Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

The thought of only being a creature of the present and the past was troubling. I longed for a future, too, with hope in it. The desire to be free, awakened my determination to act, to think, and to speak.

Here the people could stand it no longer and complained of the long voyage; but the Admiral cheered them as best he could, holding out good hope of the advantages they would have.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may yet have hope for the future of man.

Lord save us all from old age and broken health and a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms.

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.

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.

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions such as courts of justice and police.

The first requisite of civilization is that of justice.

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.

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