ave truer and nobler
ideas of it; but while we are in this life we can only speak from the
volume that is laid open before us.--_Pope._
Strike if you will, but hear.--_Themistocles._
When Infinite Wisdom established the rule of right and honesty, He saw
to it that justice should be always the highest expediency.--_Wendell
Phillips._
But Justice shines in smoky cottages, and honors the pious. Leaving with
averted eyes the gorgeous glare obtained by polluted hands, she is wont
to draw nigh to holiness, not reverencing wealth when falsely stamped
with praise, and assigning each deed its righteous doom.--_AEschylus._
God's mill grinds slow but sure.--_George Herbert._
Who shall put his finger on the work of justice, and say, "It is there?"

their best way to become so is to make themselves beloved by the people.
This maxim is doubtless a very admirable one, and in some respects true;
but unhappily it is laughed at in court.--_Rousseau._
Implements of war and subjugation are the last arguments to which kings
