Civilization is built on a number of ultimate principles... respect for human life, the punishment of crimes against property and persons, the equality of all good citizens before the law... or, in a word justice.

Justice has nothing to do with victor nations and vanquished nations, but must be a moral standard that all the world's peoples can agree to. To seek this and to achieve it - that is true civilization.

Justice is the first virtue of those who command, and stops the complaints of those who obey.

Justice is the foremost virtue of the civilizing races. It subdues the barbarous nations, while injustice arouses the weakest.

Almost certainly, however, the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind.

For me, justice is the prime condition of humanity.

The first step into justice begins with the politicians. You have to demand from yourself what you demand from people.

The whole history of civilization is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.

If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.

Civilization is the making of civil persons.
