John Rawls on justice

The principles of justice are chosen behind a veil of ignorance.

Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought.

Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Martin Luther King Jr.1929–1968The Rising Tide of Racial Consciousnes (1960)

A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.
