No one will dare maintain that it is better to do injustice than to bear it. - Aristotle Those who commit injustice bear the greatest burden. - Hosea Ballou Fraud is the ready minister of injustice. - Edmund Burke If thou suffer injustice, console thyself; the true unhappiness is in doing it. - Democritus It is not possible to found a lasting power upon injustice, perjury, and treachery. These may, perhaps, succeed for once, and borrow for awhile, from hope, a gay and flourishing appearance. But time betrays their weakness, and they fall into ruin of themselves. For, as in structures of every kind, the lower parts should have the greatest firmness--so the grounds and principles of actions should be just and true. - Demosthenes In the little world in which children have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt as injustice. - Charles Dickens Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them. - Frederick Douglass Every social injustice is not only cruel, but it is economic waste. - William Feather He that acts unjustly Is the worst rebel to himself; and though now Ambition's trumpet and the drum of power May drown the sound, yet conscience will one day Speak loudly to him. - William Havard A book might be written on the injustice of the just. - Anthony Hope (pseudonym of Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins) An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere. - Samuel Johnson (a/k/a Dr. Johnson) ("The Great Cham of Literature") Injustice arises either from precipitation or indolence or from a mixture of both. The rapid and the slow are seldom just; the unjust wait either not at all, or wait too long. - Johann Kaspar Lavater (John Caspar Lavater) The greatest of all injustice is that which goes under the name of law; and of all sorts of tyranny the forcing the letter of the law against the equity is the most insupportable. - Sir Roger L'Estrange Extremists are seldom just. - William Paley, Archdeacon of Saragossa Did the mass of men know the actual selfishness and injustice of their rulers, not a government would stand a year. The world would foment with revolution. - Theodore Parker He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it. - Plato (originally Aristocles} Those who reproach injustice do so because they are afraid not of doing it but of suffering it. - Plato (originally Aristocles}, Republic The world has no long injustices. - Marquise de Sevigne, Marie de Rabutin-Chantal The injustice of men subserves the justice of God, and often His mercy. - Madame Anne Sophie Swetchine (Soimonoff) Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison. - Henry David Thoreau Whatever the human law may be, neither an individual nor a nation can commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual without having to pay the penalty for it. - Henry David Thoreau Men's indignation, it seems, is more excited by legal wrong than by violent wrong; the first looks like being cheated by an equal, the second like being compelled by a superior. - Thucydides There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. - Elie Wiesel
