“Another fundamental principle taught by the Law of Moses is this: Wrong cannot be ascribed to God in any way whatever; all evils and afflictions as well as all kinds of happiness of man, whether they concern one individual or a community, are distributed according to justice; they are the result of strict judgement that admits no wrong whatever.” MenWayWellsKindLawEvilIndividualCommunityJusticeResultsPrinciplesTaughtConcernFundamentalsAll KindsJudgementStrictAfflictionMosesFundamental Principles Book:Guide for the perplexed Source: Guide for the perplexed
“Even when a person suffers pain in consequence of a thorn having entered into his hand, although it is at once drawn out, it is a punishment that has been inflicted on him, and the least pleasure he enjoys is a reward; all this is meted out by strict justice; as is said in the Scripture, "all His ways are judgement" (Deut. xxxii. 4); we are only ignorant of the working of that judgement.” WayPersonsHas BeensSaidHandsPainSufferingEnjoyJusticePleasureConsequenceRewardsScripturePunishmentIgnorantJudgementStrict Book:Guide for the perplexed Source: Guide for the perplexed
“The deadly weapon against totalitarian society is openness - doing everything very openly on the Internet, letting people know every detail, any little development. Once it is out there, everybody can make their own judgement. [Therefore] holding a trial outside the court. I think that is fairness, that is justice, that is a civil society. Otherwise call it an evil society because everything is hidden.” PeopleThinkingKnowsLittlesEvilJusticeDevelopmentInternetWeaponsCourtDetailsTrialsJudgementOpennessFairnessCivil Society Author:Ai Weiwei
“Justice is a judgement that is both fair and forgiving. Justice is not done until everyone is satisfied, even those who offend us and must be punished by us.

It is also the way we try to save them.” WayTryingTwoDoneJusticeBoysFairsForgivingSatisfiedJudgementShantaram Book:Shantaram: A Novel Source: Shantaram: A Novel
