Frequently Asked Questions

Does this page include a quote about a political figure and justice?
Yes — one quote expresses strong personal praise for Donald Trump, framing him, in the quote's own words, as "a native son" who could "lead us out of turmoil and trouble to peace and justice" by following "the rule of law and not the rule of mob." The quote goes on to say this is the path it believes Donald Trump has set the country on. This is presented here strictly as that quote's own political opinion and praise, not as a neutral or established fact.
Is there a quote about social justice as a movement?
Yes, one quote poses a distinction, asking whether it's "a teacher-education model or a movement for social justice," and answers that it's about the latter — describing itself as being about "a movement for social justice."
Is there a poetic quote about nature and justice?
Yes — two closely related lines appear on this page, both reflecting that "Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do." It's a poetic reminder that natural consequences often outlast human politics.
Why do two quotes about nature and justice look almost identical?
This page includes two very similar versions of the same idea — one begins "Whether we or our politicians know it or not," and the other begins "Whether we and our politicians know it or not," but both make the same core point about nature having "a sterner sense of justice than we do."
Where can I find more quotes related to justice and related themes?
