“Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness with kindness”
Confucius
“I am unjust, but I can strive for justice. My life's unkind, but I can vote for kindness. I, the unloving, say life should be lovely. I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness.”
Vachel Lindsay
“We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“Peace will not come out of a clash of arms but out of justice lived and done by unarmed nations in the face of odds.”
“Only a kind person is able to judge another justly and to make allowances for his weaknesses. A kind eye, while recognizing defects, sees beyond them.”
Lawrence G. Lovasik
“We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general. Action is always specific, concrete, individualized, unique.”
John Dewey
“It is my hope that as the Negro plunges deeper into the quest for freedom and justice he will plunge even deeper into the philosophy of non-violence. The Negro all over the South must come to the point that he can say to his white brother: ''We will match your capacity to inflict suffering with our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. We will not hate you, but we will not obey your evil laws. We will soon wear you down by pure capacity to suffer.''”
Martin Luther King Jr.
