“So, in our wisdom and fair justice we go on - "Giving to dust that is a little gilt, More laud than gold e'er dusted;" proclaiming the merits of the bad wine, and making it, by every token, as enticing as we can; and blessing our stars that the good will be found out by its flavor "without our stir." As it is inestimable, we seek not to win esteem for it; as it is beyond all praise, we bestow no praises upon it.” GivingLittlesFoundWinningStarsJusticeGoes OnBlessingFairsGoldPraiseWineEsteemDustMeritFlavorGood WillTokensProclaimingEnticing Author:Samuel Laman Blanchard
“The burden of all song and praise "unto the Highest" has been that God stands for justice and mercy. Yet injustice among men is ever on the increase; the outrages committed against the masses in this country alone would seem enough to overflow the very heavens. But where are the gods to make an end to all these horrors, these wrongs, this inhumanity to man? No, not the gods, but MAN must rise in his mighty wrath. He, deceived by all the deities, betrayed by their emissaries, he, himself, must undertake to usher in justice upon the earth.” MenHas BeensEndsCountryEnoughSeemsEarthSongHeavenJusticeHorrorHighestMassMercyIncreasePraiseInjusticeCommittedBurdenPositive AtheismBetrayedWrathDeceivedDeitiesOutrageInhumanityOverflowJustice And MercyInhumanity To Man Book:Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader Source: Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader

“Conscience, the sense of right, the power of perceiving moral distinctions, the power of discerning between justice and injustice, excellence and baseness, is the highest faculty given us by God, the whole foundation of our responsibility, and our sole capacity for religion. ...God, in giving us conscience, has implanted a principle within us which forbids us to prostrate ourselves before mere power, or to offer praise where we do not discover worth.” GivingWholeGivenJusticeResponsibilityMoralPrinciplesOffersHighestConscienceCapacityPraiseFoundationExcellenceMereInjusticeDistinctionFacultySoleReligion GodDiscerningBasenessJustice And Injustice Author:William Ellery Channing
“Education Secretary Arne Duncan spurned the opportunity to condemn thousands of Wisconsin public school teachers for lying about being 'sick' and shutting down at least eight school districts across the state to attend capitol protests (many of whom dragged their students on a social justice field trip with them). Instead, Duncan defended teachers for 'doing probably the most important work in society.' Only striking government teachers could win federal praise for not doing their jobs.” ImportantStatesGovernmentSchoolJobsLyingOpportunityWinningSocialJusticeTeacherFieldsStudentsSickPraiseSocial JusticeEightProtestSecretaryPublic SchoolCapitolWisconsinSchool TeachersImportant WorkDuncanBeing SickSchool DistrictsShutting DownField Trip Author:Michelle Malkin
