You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of Islamic democracy Islamic social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil.

You see Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment. Because there is no way we can look at what's happening in Africa and if we're honest conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else.

Then not only custom but also nature affirms that to do is more disgraceful than to suffer injustice and that justice is equality.

I believe in the equality of man and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice loving mercy and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man you take it.

So to hope to be able to have peace to be able to have justice and environmental balance are consequences of our behavior not just our intentions.

We have fought for social justice. We have fought for economic justice. We have fought for environmental justice. We have fought for criminal justice. Now we must add a new fight - the fight for electoral justice.

My mother was the influence in my life. She was strong she had great faith in the ultimate triumph of justice and hard work. She believed passionately in education.

I tell young people to prepare themselves as best they can for a world that grows more challenging every day-get the best education they can and couple that education with real-life experience in social justice work.

Except among those whose education has been in the minimalist style it is understood that hasty moral judgments about the past are a form of injustice.

Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.

Together we can and must fight for justice for our children and protect them from draconian tax cuts and budget choices that threaten their survival education and preparation for the future. If they are not ready for tomorrow neither is America.

Until justice is blind to color until education is unaware of race until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.

Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.

The miser starving his brother's body starves also his own soul and at death shall creep out of his great estate of injustice poor and naked and miserable.

Bulls can do nothing to demand justice. They can only defend themselves as best they can in a fight with a pre-determined ending and die never knowing why they were forced to endure such a painful and prolonged death. It's up to us as a civilized society to call for an end to the Running of the Bulls and bullfighting.

Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is at the end of the day the most compelling persuasive and winning argument against a death penalty.

All stories interest me and some haunt me until I end up writing them. Certain themes keep coming up: justice loyalty violence death political and social issues freedom.

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

Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed there is no justice but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two some century or two but it is sure as life it is sure as death.

The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a time to honor the greatest champion of racial equality who taught a nation - through compassion and courage - about democracy nonviolence and racial justice.

Freedom. And Justice. If you have those two it covers everything. You must stick to those principles and have the courage of your convictions.

I know that throughout their history the people of the United States defended their freedom their liberty their justice and their rights - if need be - with their lives. I think their courage is so admirable.
