Notable Quotable 230
And yet we have what purports, or professes, or is claimed, to be a contract—the Constitution—made eighty years ago, by men who are now all dead, and who never had any power to bind us, but which (it is claimed) has nevertheless bound three generations of men, consisting of many millions, and which (it is claimed) will be binding upon all the millions that are to come; but which nobody ever signed, sealed, delivered, witnessed, or acknowledged; and which few persons, compared with the whole number that are claimed to be bound by it, have ever read, or even seen, or ever will read, or see.
- Lysander Spooner, No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority
Our laws are the output of a system which clothes rascals in robes and honesty in rags.
- Howard Zinn
Here lies the truth of this grave injustice. Those who survive are far more gone that those who perished.
- Aysha Taryam
If people in the position of power are not made to be accountable, then, ungodliness, injustice and oppression will continue to be the order of the day in the society.
- Sunday Adelaja
Too often are events suffered in the past remembered only to justify evils done in the present.
- Criss Jami
Nothing is illegal if one hundred businessmen decide to do it.
-Andrew Young, US congressman
We live in a system that espouses merit, equality, and a level playing field, but exalts those with wealth, power, and celebrity, however gained.
- Derrick Bell, Ethical Ambition
The rich don't have to kill to eat. They employ people, as they call it. The rich don't do evil themselves. They pay. People do all they can to please them, and everybody's happy.
- Lous-Ferdinand Céline
And you can also commit injustice by doing nothing.
- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated. An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation.
- Bryan Stevenson
