Frederick Douglass on justice

No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.

Where there is seeming contentment with slavery, there is certain treachery to freedom.

To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

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