“There is evil poured upon the earth from the overflowings of corruption-- Sickness, and poverty, and pain, and guilt, and madness, and sorrow; But, as the water from a fountain riseth and sinketh to its level, Ceaselessly toileth justice to equalize the lots of men.” MenEarthPainEvilWaterJusticeLevelsPovertySorrowMadnessGuiltCorruptionSicknessFountain Author:William Hazlitt
“Even if a civil society were to be dissolved by the consent of all its members (e.g., if a people inhabiting an island decided to separate and disperse throughout the world), the last murderer remaining in prison would first have to be executed, so that each has done to him what his deeds deserve and blood guilt does not cling to the people for not having insisted upon this punishment; for otherwise the people can be regarded as collaborators in his public violation of justice.” PeopleIfsWorldFirstsDoeDoneLastsJusticeBloodMembersDeserveDecidedPrisonGuiltDeedsPunishmentIslandsConsentMurdererViolationCivil SocietyCollaborators Book:Practical Philosophy Source: Practical Philosophy
“The names of great painters are like passing-bells: in the name of Velasquez you hear sounded the fall of Spain; .in the name of Titian, that of Venice; in the name of Leonardo, that of Milan; in the name of Raphael, that of Rome. And there is profound justice in this, for in proportion to the nobleness of the power is the guilt of its use for purposes vain or vile; and hitherto the greater the art, the more surely has it been used, and used solely, for the decoration of pride or the provoking of sensuality.” ArtUseUsedPurposeFallNamesJusticeGreaterPrideGuiltProfoundPassingPassingsPainterSensualityVainProportionRomeBellsProvokingSpainVeniceDecorationLeonardoRaphaelMilan Author:John Ruskin
“One might expect that the families of murder victims would be showered with sympathy and support, embraced by their communities.

“The ethical practices of lawyers are probably no worse than those of other professions. Lawyers bring some of the trouble on by claiming in a sanctimonious way that they are interested only in justice, not power or wealth. They also suffer guilt by association. Their clients are often people in trouble. Saints need no lawyers: gangsters do.” PeopleWayNeedsSufferingWealthJusticePracticeTroubleGuiltSaintProfessionLawyerEthicalAssociationClientsGangstersSanctimonious Author:Lawrence M. Friedman

“One of my defining beliefs is that Jesus Christ has taken all of my guilt before God, and that he has been raised from the dead. That gives incredible hope and meaning to every day of my life - that nothing done in this world is wasted when it's done for him and his glory, and that there will be a day of justice and reward for the entire world.” WorldGivingHas BeensDoneJesusBeliefChristJusticeTakenThis WorldGloryJesus ChristGuiltRaisedRewardsIncrediblesDefining Author:Joshua Harris
