Then not only custom, but also nature affirms that to do is more disgraceful than to suffer injustice, and that justice is equality.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King Jr.
-
Injustice is censured because the censures are afraid of suffering, and not from any fear which they have of doing injustice.
Plato
-
The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.
Albert Einstein
-
The most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of your own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs. There’s not one of them which won’t make us into devils if we set it up as an absolute guide. You might think love of humanity in general was safe, but it isn’t. If you leave out justice you’ll find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials “for the sake of humanity” and become in the end a cruel and treacherous man.
C.S. Lewis
-
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery’s shadow or reflection: the fact that you don’t merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
C.S. Lewis
