Justice
 
  Justice is like the north star, which is fixed, and all the rest revolve about it.
            —Confucius		  1
  Justice is like the Kingdom of God: It is not without us as a fact; it is within us as a great yearning.
            —George Eliot		  2
  As honor, just.
            —David Mallet		  3
  Human justice, like Luther’s drunken peasant, when saved from falling on one side, topples over on the other.
            —Guiseppe Mazzini		  4
Justice, like lightning, ever should appear;
To few men ruin, but to all men fear.
            —Thomas Randolph		  5
