A just society is a society that if you knew everything about it, you'd be willing to enter it in a random place.

An injustice is tolerable only when it is necessary to avoid an even greater injustice.

An intolerant sect has no right to complain when it is denied an equal liberty... A person's right to complain is limited to principles he acknowledges himself.

A society regulated by a public sense of justice is inherently stable.
