I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.

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?

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

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

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

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

The first requisite of civilization is that of justice.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

For truth itself does not have the privilege to be employed at any time and in every way; its use, noble as it is, has its circumscriptions and limits.

The quick pain of truth can pass away, but the slow eating agony of a lie is never lost.

Only when we realize that there is no eternal, unchanging truth or absolute truth can we arouse in ourselves a sense of intellectual responsibility.

It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.

No matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

There is no disguise which can for long conceal love where it exists or simulate it where it does not.

It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.
